I'M WAITING

PSALM 130:6 (ABP)
Lord, you have my full attention as I wait to see what you’re going to do. Just as the soldier standing guard during the night eagerly anticipates daybreak, I'm waiting.

JUDE 21 (ABP)
Y'all need to swim in God's love while you're waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to undrape a life so rich that it mercifully never ends.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Waiting for God's great reveal is thoroughly engaging.

DAILY FODDER
Why is waiting for God to act sometimes very agonizing and sometimes great fun? What makes it so?

PRAYER
Risen Savior, you have already given us a small glimpse of what new life looks like. Forgive me for allowing distractions to interfere with my assignment of attentively waiting for the fullness of your salvation to be revealed in the world and in my life. Keep me alert and on task. With your help I'll remain ready. Amen. 

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
