Ps. 5:3 Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I
bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
First, in order for the
Lord to listen to us, we have to speak and then wait. Our hearts must reach out
to Him with a desire for His voice to speak to us. I suspect that one of the
reasons why so many prayers go unanswered is that we don’t have a real desire
to hear His voice. We go through the motions of prayer without giving much
thought to waiting for God to speak. Prayer is not a one way conversation.
What better way to
start a new day than to spend it in fellowship with the Lord? Fellowship is
lingering in the presence of God. It is waiting with expectation that God will
answer our prayers. Waiting often times is the best part. When we linger in the
presence of the Lord all kinds of interesting things can happen. Who can
anticipate what the Lord will do when He is in the house? Waiting may be living
in expectation of God showing up.
Today as you go about
the business of life, live in anticipation of God showing up. Look for “God
moments” throughout your day. Let today be a day of constant worship for you. If you do not expect anything to happen
from God in your day, it probably won't.
If you have an open heart and alert mind, you will see what the Lord has
for you today.
