waiting

It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord.
- Lamentations 3:26 (NKJV)

 

Remember the old saying, “Good things come to those who wait”? While it’s not actually found in the Bible, it’s often attributed to a poem by Lady Mary Montgomerie Currie, who wrote under the pseudonym “Violet Fane.” Like many people, I catch myself saying “I hope” quite often—hoping for a good parking spot, a warm day, or praying for positive outcomes for myself and others. Friends might hope for a new job or a good report from the doctor.

But ultimately, our true hope should rest in the Lord—He alone brings salvation. There are times when waiting on Him feels discouraging, as if He isn’t listening at all. I can recall moments when I hoped for something specific, only to be disappointed. Yet looking back, I often realize it was for the best that things didn’t go as I’d planned.

Waiting isn’t easy, and sometimes it feels like God is silent. But even in those moments, we must remember that He is faithful, compassionate, and loving. He will guide us through every obstacle, and His love is everlasting. So, wait for the Lord—He knows exactly what He’s doing.
