In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. NIV (Psalm 5:3)
As Andrew Murray puts it, "Christians do not know.....the unspeakable blessedness of continually waiting on God." (Waiting on God, p. 13)
Continually. Uninterrupted. A constant in my life. Not just this specific time of waiting for emotional, physical and possible medical directions.
Patiently. An adverb that is not in my adverbial repertoire when it comes to waiting.
I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. (Psalm 40:1)
I want a new song --Now---actually yesterday. (Psalm 40:3)
So you, by the help of your God, return, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God. ESV Always is an appropriate waiting adverb too. God's Word translation says, "always wait with hope for your God." Love the propositional phrase that emphasizes how to wait---with hope. (Hosea 12:6)
Waiting on God----but without GRAMMATICAL GAFFES, I hope! After all, it's Wordsmith Wednesday!
