So, these verses have been something of a comfort to me for years now. i've learn from them, referenced to them in conversation, lived by them, and even preached from them; but i have never - ok, maybe once when i read the Bible straight through - ever really taken read them consecutively.
i've always known them on there own merit, and even though that didn't take away from the context in which i knew them, they have so much more power together. It never even past my mind until recently that these verses were in the same book, but i won't forget that anytime soon again.
Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.
