Before Him

One of the delights of Island life is the availability of fresh seafood.  Once ordered, it's not uncommon to grow anxious for the sea's delicacy to be placed before you.  Jeremiah wrote, "The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him." (Lamentations 3:25).  Good how?  Unlike your favorite seafood dish, which may arrive overcooked or under cooked or tasteless, the LORD (Jehovah, Yahweh) is good in every possible way. Actually, the Hebrew says the best in comparison to everything.  Good comes when?  The LORD's goodness comes when we wait.  Waiting before God is one way we seek Him.  Oswald Chambers said, "The good is always the enemy of the best."  Oh, the magnificent things of God we forfeit because we do not wait before The Father.  Have you sat quietly before Him this week?  Before Him patiently waiting?  Listening?  Before you miss anything more, sit before Him today.
