In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. Psalm 5:3
Waiting in expectation... How exciting that sounds.
Do you remember when you were a child, and Christmas was coming, or your birthday was around the corner? It was always so exciting - the anticipation - seeing wrapped boxes that contained childhood dreams.
That same expectation - that same excitement is how we can wait upon the Lord. He loves to give us gifts! By seeking His will, walking in His will, and asking for His blessing, there isn't anything we could want that He won't give.
Lord, I too often forget to wait in expectation. I am too easily discouraged by waiting. Change my heart. Help me to see that Your best is yet to come. Give me hope and a future. Help me walk in Your way.
