This morning as with most mornings, I woke up in time to see the sunrise. In the last few years I've really come to appreciate the awe that is a sunrise. The intracies of creation that allows the whole world to flow in harmony. As it peaked the horizon I watched and waited. I didn't wait in anxiousness or fret about whether or not the sun was going to peak as I had confidence that it would.
It dawned on me that this is how I should be with the Lord as well. I know He is there and that He will answer my prayers and petitions. The difference is during the waiting for the Lord unlike the sunrise, I tend to fret, be anxious, worry, wring my hands thinking when when when. It dawned on me this morning though that the same God who gave me that sunrise this morning will also answer my prayers. I didn't worry about when the sun rose or try to speed it along I just enjoyed watching it rise. Shouldn't I be doing this with the Lord also when I bring Him my prayers? So as I go through the day today I'm going to enjoy the day knowing that God is going to answer my prayers as certainly as He has the sun rise each day.
Those around me can rush, fret, or try to push their will on me, but my God is bigger than any of their anxiousness or malicious intentions - yes I will wait patiently on the Lord.
Psalm 37:7
Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
