Isaiah 30:18 says, "Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you, He rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him."
He's not out to get us. He's not against us, but for us all the way. He is waiting, yearning, and longing to be gracious toward us. So how come we aren't always seeing that? According to this verse, it's because we aren't waiting for Him. We're probably too busy jumping ahead of Him trying to come up with our own solutions that we block His compassion and justice.
We need to wait and then we'll be able to see what the Lord can and will do. Are we waiting? Grace, compassion, and justice comes to those who wait.

Thanks for sharing the good advice, Beckie! We do have trouble waiting often, but waiting on the Lord always has its rewards!
