TOPIC:  IT IS NOT IN VAIN TO TRUST IN GOD

MEMORIZE: “The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” Lamentations 3:25.

SCRIPTURE READING: Lamentations 3:25-26.

“25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” 

EXPOSITION:

Those who deal with God will find it is not in vain to trust in him; for, 

a. GOD IS GOOD TO THOSE WHO TRUST HIM, Lamentation 2:25 “The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.”. He is good to all; his tender mercies are over all his works; all his creatures taste of his goodness. But he is in a particular manner good to those that wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. Note, While trouble is prolonged, and deliverance is deferred, we must patiently wait for God and his gracious returns to us. While we wait for him by faith, we must seek him by prayer: our souls must seek him, else we do not seek so as to find. Our seeking will help to keep up our waiting.  And to those who thus wait and seek God will be gracious; he will show them his marvellous lovingkindness. 

b. THOSE THAT TRUST GOD WILL FIND IT GOOD FOR THEM (Lamentation 3:26 “It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.”): It is good (it is our duty, and will be our unspeakable comfort and satisfaction) to hope and quietly to wait for the salvation of the Lord, to hope that it will come, thought eh difficulties that lie in the way of it seem insupportable, to wait till it does come, though it be long delayed, and while we wait to be quiet and silent, not quarrelling with God nor making ourselves uneasy, but acquiescing in the divine disposals. Father, thy will be done. If we call this to mind, we may have hope that all will end well at last. 

PRAYER POINT:  Lord, help me to keep trusting you in all my endeavours in Jesus name.
