The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.” Lamentations 3:25
The bloom in the ashes
Jerusalem is in ruins. The prophet weeps. Hope is threadbare, but in the middle of lament, a whisper:
The Lord is good.
Not loud. Not sudden. But steady and sure.
The comfort – the tension
This is not the goodness of escape.
It is the goodness of endurance.
Not the kind that shouts in triumph,
but the kind that sits beside sorrow
and stays in trust.
It does not rush. It waits.
It meets the soul that seeks
and does not let go.
The drop
God’s goodness is not always obvious. But it is always present.
It does not vanish in grief. It deepens.
And to the soul that waits it comes: quiet, certain., and enough.
Life is Fun, But Not a Joke
