Thursday 09/08/05 - Psalm 5

How are things going for you? Things are “crazy busy” for me right now. But if you want to meet up with me please do. I will make the time. Right now, I am doing my devotion at my daughter’s soccer practice. My wife is on a business trip and my boys are with their grandpa. I just had a staff meeting that took most of the day. Tomorrow I will “hopefully” make it to the Temple Morning Prayer. I love serving God but at times I think “this is crazy.”

3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests

But I am excited about this semester. I cannot wait to see what God is going to do. I am waiting in great expectation.
before you and wait in expectation.

This is a real Morning Prayer passage. The Bible speaks frequently about praying in the morning. It is good to pray in the morning. I know that but boy is it hard to get up for those morning prayers. “Lord help me!”

What do you do after you pray? Do you forget it? Do you anxiously wait for it? What do you do after you pray? Do you fall asleep?

The Psalmist says we should wait in expectation. God will answer and His answer will be the best for you. It could be a “yes” from God. It could be a “no.” It could be a “wait.” It could be “you choose.” But He does answer.

Do you wait in expectation? Remember you are waiting upon our Heavenly Father who knows how to give good gifts. He is not cheap. He is not late. He is not angry with you. He loves you. Of course if you are in sin you need to repent and wait in expectation. But He will answer so be excited for His answer to come.
