Lamentations 3:24 & 25 from the AMP says this: The LORD is my portion and my inheritance - says my soul - Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him. The LORD is good to those who wait (confidently) for Him, to those who seek Him (on the authority of God’s Word).
verse 32 - For if He causes grief, then He will have compassion according to His abundant lovingkindness and tender mercy.
No matter what comes into our lives, none of it (as in, 0% of it - none, nada, nil) can occur outside of God's unending lovingkindness toward us.
Put things in "park" and wait expectantly for the Lord ~ but at the same time, put things in "drive" and have tremendous hope in the God who keeps His promises. Just put the brakes on all your fretting and frantic-ness and work harder-harder-harder some more but be very intense and intentional about believing He will do all that He has said He will do in and through your life.
Live believing. Because I cannot think of a better way to celebrate the advent of our Lord this Christmas season.
