"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
Two things in this verse jump out at me.
1. In the morning. The writer states this not once but twice. The Lord should be the first one I talk to in the morning. He should be my first priority. I can't wait till the end of the day to talk to Him about today for the first time.
2. Wait in expectation. Oh how I dread the word wait! For a long time I thought it meant to sit still, like a bump on a log, and I don't always sit well. Webster defines wait as " to be ready". Am I ready to listen? Do I watch for His answer to my requests? He has promised when I seek Him, I will find Him. How often do I miss His answer because I don't wait with expectation?
