Waiting on the Lord. Worship: June 30, 2024

There’s an old English proverb which states, “Good things come to those who wait.” Though a nice thought, there is no certainty of the saying coming to fruition. The Word of God, however, is always true, especially as we hear the Old Testament Reading from Lamentations: “The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD” (3:25–26). Even as we hear in today’s Gospel from Mark, people waited in affliction and grief, as Jesus would heal a woman’s twelve-year ailment and raise the dead daughter of a synagogue ruler. Though our waiting on the Lord may not result in a miracle in this earthly life, in our greatest wait we are assured of what is sure to come to fruition as we, “wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD” (Lamentations 3:26).
