The LORDis good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
The verse was Jeremiah's answer when called to drink the cup of tribulation and sorrow and tempted in his misery to feel that his strength and hope had perished from the Lord. He turned from despair to triumphant hope by recalling God's providences in his behalf. That turning declares that the Lord is good and merciful to those who wait for Him and to the soul that seeks Him.
He reveals Himself even in the night season as full of tender compassion and sympathy to encourage trust in His love, and He does all things well. Waiting on Him and seeking Him means waiting quietly and patiently for the salvation of the Lord. Waiting on Him means keeping His praise in the heart and on the lips.
