With Expectation!

 

“Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD.

Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.”

Psalm 5:3

There’s just something about communing with God in the stillness of the early morning.  Calm and quiet with no distractions.  Fulfilling the need to check in with God before you begin your day.  And ‘wait expectantly’.  What does that mean, ‘wait expectantly’? 

Have you ever had tickets to a concert for your all-time favorite group?  And weeks leading up to the concert you’re excited, you can hardly wait for the day to come.  That’s how we should approach our day, AFTER we’ve checked in with GOD.   

Expectantly is defined as:  feeling or thinking that something will happen; expecting something.

To go a little further, synonyms for ‘expectantly’ are: actively, breathlessly, earnestly, energetically, enthusiastically, gladly, hungrily, intently, readily, willingly, zealously.

Hmmmm, is this how you usually approach a new day?  Or do you draaaaag yourself out of bed wishing the day was already over?

Let’s push the reset button and start our day making our requests know to God, and waiting in expectation for what He’s going to do.
