Matthew Poole and continuators on Lamentations 3:25

25 The LORD is good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him .

Good is a term of a very comprehensive notion. The nature of it lieth in a sutableness to the thing or person to whom it relateth. So it signifieth profit and pleasantness. There is in God an essential goodness, which is his absolute perfection; but this Text speaketh of a communicative goodness, which floweth from him to his Creatures, and is seen in his suting their various necessities and desires with satisfactory dispensations of Providence. Though God be in one degree or other good to all, yet he is more especially good to the true worshippers of him, yet possibly not in their seasons or times when they expect or would have God shew himself so to them, in this or that way, but alwayes to those who wait for him, patiently induring trials and afflictions until God please to send them deliverance.
