Subject: all good things come to those who wait |
Bible Note: Makarios and Keliy, I think you both did an excellent job! I did a word search and, you know I was amazed at how many verses show that waiting for the Lord will bring good things to those who do. I think we can take that statement to the bank of holy writ! :-) Ps 27:14, Ps 33:20, Ps 37:7, Ps 37:9, Ps 37:34, Ps 40:1, Ps 130:5, Ps 130:6, Ps 147:11, Prov 20:22, Is 8:17, Is 25:9, Is 40:31, Is 49:23, Is 60:9. Lam 3:25-26 "The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him. It is good that he waits silently for the salvation of the LORD." :-) John |
