God gives us many gifts to enjoy, but He alone will finally satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. Waiting pushes us to seek our contentment in Him.

God’s mercy will be there for you in eternity, and on Thursday. He doesn’t ask you to live on borrowed mercy from yesterday. He provides for every tomorrow.

The hard news of Lamentations is that the people of God must wait for the salvation of the Lord in the midst of suffering.

Even in calamity, there is a promise of good for those who belong to the Lord.
