Verse of the Day - Lamentations 3:25

The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.
~ Lamentations 3:25 (NLT)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you ever leaned on something you thought was dependable, only to find out it wasn't? Maybe it was a railing...or a computer hard drive...or a friend. You trusted and leaned on it/them to support your weight -- and ended up bruised, frustrated, and disillusioned.

We need to be careful where we place our weight, because many things in this life can't or won't hold us. But God is the great Weight-Bearer. Anyone who depends and trusts and leans on Him will always be supported! His listening ears and strong arms will never fail us or let us down. He always gives wise counsel, comforting words, and loving guidance. You never have to worry that He's not strong enough, too busy, or infected with a virus :-)

This verse also talks about our seeking after Him. Are we seeking after Him daily, or only when we get in a bind? Depending on Him when we're stuck in a jam is very different than seeking His face every day, in the good, the bad and the ugly. God wants daily with us. And we need daily with Him.

Depend on the Lord to hold you up each and every day, because He is faithful and trustworthy to love you with His everlasting love.

Love,
Joelene
