Waiting on the Lord

"Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord."
Ps.27:14

Dispite the speed of our digital lives today, we still do a lot of waiting. And we don't like it one bit. Waiting reminds us we're not in control. When we're doing something, we have the illusion we're the ones in control of our little universe. Waiting exposes that illusion for what it is.
That's why waiting and prayer go hand in hand. They're sides of the same coin: it's His world, and he'll make of it what he wants. Prayer begins and ends with that position, "Our Father who art in Heaven...Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory for forever and ever. Amen

Silence and waiting before the Lord is a very powerful thing indeed.

I Will Lift Up My Eyes

"I will lifet up my eyes to the mountains; from whence shall my help come?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Ps. 121: 1-2.

Today I will lift up my eyes from the mundane worries of the day, from the petty thoughts, from the vain striving, for the glories of the Lord.
Look up and really see.
Then rejoice.
