Fw: Waiting and watching

Psalm 130:

5  I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

6  my soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

-

We may not realize it but waiting is an important part of prayer.  Just like everything else about our relationship with God, it's not all about us.  It's all about Him.  We may think we know our need and the need of others as we pray, but He knows even before and beyond our asking and He knows what the true need is, beyond our understanding.

-

So as we come to Him we would do well to start by waiting and then turn to His word for the sure promises and illumination of His Spirit that connects us to Him intimately.  In the waiting and in the hoping there is a knitting of our heart with His.  And just as the watchmen anticipated the dawn with a sure hope, so we can expect Him to arise in our inner place.
