Wait and Look

“The Lord is good to those who wait for him. He is good to those who look for him.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:25‬ ‭ERV‬‬
There are two powerful action words in this verse...wait and look. Many of His promises in the Bible revolve around waiting on Him and looking for Him.
Are you looking for Him? Looking involves a intentionality each day to stop and read His Word and talk to Him. If we spend our whole day with other things and never take time to "look for Him," we are missing the main reason that we exist. TV is not the main reason that we exist. Food is not the main reason we exist. Even work is not the reason that we were created. We were created for fellowship with our creator.
The other thing that we need to do is wait. Just because I start a diet today, I won't reach my goal today. Just because I start saving money today, I have to wait and continue to save money for a goal. When we purpose that we will not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds, we have to wait and trust that God will transform us.
Hallelujah! This verse says that God is so good to those who seek Him and wait for Him. I need God's goodness today.
