"Anticipation Rewarded"
As always, the long awaited dawning and sunrise never seem to disappoint.
So it is with God’s Mercies and Compassion.
Sunrise on the wetlands of Thompsons Creek at Connewarre, near Geelong.
Psalm 130:6 (New King James Version)
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
Lamentations 3:25 (New King James Version)
22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
24 “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“ Therefore I hope in Him!”
25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
