Esther 7:1-8:17; Malachi 2:10-3:6; Revelation 21:9-22:5
The Lord is good to those who wait for Him. Lam. 3:25 NKJV
This was the verse for today in Jabe Nicholson’s Petition Mission. I dutifully wrote it in my journal and nodded in appreciation of this very familiar truth, never thinking that I would have to apply it immediately. For as the day unfolded a medical situation that I thought was urgently needed was postponed. In communicating this change in timing to family I added the words of this verse, and slowly the truth of it nourished my soul. The word “linger”
has been challenging me this year, so perhaps this verse could include that the Lord is good to those who wait for, (and linger with) Him. —Marilyn MacMullen
My soul with patience waits, for Thee the living Lord;
The plenteous source and spring from whence eternal succour flows. —Laura Tate
