The Nugget:
Lamentations 3:25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. (KJV)
Lam 3:25 The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to anyone who seeks help from him. (GW, God’s Word translation)
My Comment:
We can find comfort and grace to help (Hebrews 4:16) as we take the time to seek the Lord. In this day, I believe we can most profitably seek the Lord by studying His word in the Bible. As we seek Him, we will discover He cares for us.
