The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
Lamentations 3:25-26 ESV
Wait is found twice in today's passage...
I ventured to see if they were the same in Hebrew...
they were not...
The first wait...
hope in... hope for...
look forward with confidence to that which is good...
(Dictionary of Biblical Languages)
The second wait...
staying or continuing in the same state or position...
(Dictionary of Biblical Languages)
The Lord is good to those...
who expect Him to be good...
to the soul who seeks Him...
To the faithful you show yourself faithful...
Psalm 18:25 NIV
Those who understand the goodness of God...
wait for it...
and receive it...
It is good... to wait...
staying in the same state of expectation... hope...
waiting quietly... for His salvation...
Wait well... for His goodness...
persevere in the wait...
He shall show up...
for your good...
He is faithful to His Word...
What are you waiting for...? are you expecting His goodness...?
