Subject: "all good things come to those who wait" |
Bible Note: Hello Jamie Lynn, A warm welcome to the forum! It's encouraging to see you studying with Sister and Mom! :-) I thought I'd do a search on, ["those who wait"] in the, Search word(s) box, under the, Get Bible Text, to the right of your screen. After reading your question, and Brother Tim's response, it reminded me that I have often heard that expression. As a boy, from my mom, from teachers, and as an adult I still hear it from time to time. When we read the Scriptures that describe the "good things" that do come to those who wait, it's easy to see how this expression came to be popular among Christians. Here's some more Scriptures that you may want to share with Mom and Sis. God bless John [emphasis in CAPS is mine] : Hope you enjoy the forum! Ps 25:3 Indeed, none of those who WAIT for You will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. Ps 37:9 For evildoers will be cut off, But those who WAIT for the LORD, they will inherit the land. Ps 69:6 May those who WAIT for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel, Ps 119:74 May those who fear You see me and be glad, Because I WAIT for Your word. Ps 147:11 The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those who WAIT for His lovingkindness. Is 40:31 Yet those who WAIT for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Lam 3:25 The LORD is good to those who WAIT for Him, To the person who seeks Him. |
