Lamentations 3:25-26
Patient Seekers: Waiting on God’s Goodness
Verse Of The Day:
"The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord." (Lamentations 3:25-26)
Have you ever had to wait for something really exciting, like your birthday or a special trip? It can be hard to wait, but when the big day finally arrives, it’s so worth it! In Lamentations 3:25-26, we learn that waiting for God’s goodness is like that—when we patiently hope in Him, amazing things happen.
God promises to be good to those who seek Him and trust in His timing. Sometimes, we might not get what we want right away, and that’s okay. God knows the perfect time for everything, and while we wait, He is with us, helping us grow stronger in faith and patience.
Waiting quietly and patiently isn’t always easy, but it helps us learn to trust God more. Just like a seed takes time to grow into a beautiful flower, our faith grows when we wait on God. And the best part? God’s goodness is always worth the wait!
Hopeful Seed Planting:
Plant a “Hopeful Seed” at home! Get a small pot, some soil, and a seed (like a flower or herb seed). Plant the seed together with your family, and as you do, talk about how waiting for the seed to grow is like waiting for God’s goodness. Each day, water the seed and take care of it, watching it grow over time. As the plant grows, remember that God is always working in our lives, even when we can’t see it right away. This activity helps kids understand the beauty of waiting patiently for God’s perfect timing.
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for being good to us and teaching us to wait patiently for Your blessings. Help us to trust in Your timing and to seek You with all our hearts. May we learn to be still and quiet, knowing that You are always working for our good. Grow our faith like a seed, strong and beautiful, as we wait for Your goodness to bloom in our lives. Amen.
Keep seeking and waiting patiently, Faith Force Patient Seekers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s goodness is worth the wait. Trust in His perfect timing and watch how your faith grows, just like a seed turning into a beautiful flower.
