LAMENTATIONS 3:25-26

Patience is a virtue, or so we are told. However, there is more than patient waiting
admonished here. The first verse gives us some agency as we wait. We are told to
seek God, not only wait for God. How might you seek God today? Remember, we are
promised that those who seek will find.

Patience, Lord, is difficult to come by in our world of instant gratification and ondemand everything. We do not like to wait. And yet, you tell us to wait — not passively, but eagerly and all the while seeking you. You promise that those who seek do indeed find and so today we anticipate seeing you everywhere. Amen.
