Depend on Him

Tuesday, February 13, 2018

The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.

‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Благ Господь к надеющимся на Него, к душе, ищущей Его.

‭‭Плач Иеремии‬ ‭3:25‬ ‭SYNO‬‬

Not that this should be the reason why we depend on Him, but “the Lord is good to those” who do. 

When my children were young they depended on me much more than they do now that they are grown. They needed my care and provision. Sometimes they slipped their small hands into mine just for security. Sometimes they snuggled up close in order to get warm — or to express their love. They depended on me to be there for them. And I was. 

And I was good to my children. Why? Because they were my children. Because they were vulnerable. Because they were precious to me. And because they needed me. 

How much more will God be good to us, His children just because we are His children? We are vulnerable. We are precious to Him. And we need Him. 

Now that my children are grown, they need me in a different way. They need my wisdom, my moral support, my prayers and my friendship more than anything. I still love it when they slide my hand into the bend of their arms or when they put their arms around me. And, of course, I’m still good to them. 

LORD, thank you for your goodness. May we always seek you and depend wholeheartedly on you. 

Господь, благодарю вас за вашу доброту. Можем ли мы всегда искать вас и полностью от вас завидовать.
