THE MORNING
PSALM 130:6
My soul waits upon the Lord more then they that watch for the morning:
I say more then they that watch for the morning!
When I read this verse it reminds of several things- the first of which is living in the Southeastern part of the country -we get many stormy nights- some are so bad I just wait for the first glance of mornings light and the stormy night is over- there may be more storms but you can better prepare and see them coming -this is not so with the night -you can see lightening in the distance but its hard to gage since you don't have the black sky to tell you the storm is on your doorstep - it also reminds me of a scary dream ive had before -I am in the darkness and I hear the growling of a mean dog- but its so dark I cannot see it - I wait for the light before I move -this is what it is like to wait for the morning to come - a stormy night or a fearful time in the dark - Jesus is the light that we should be waiting on - He is coming back -and sooner and sooner as the days pass -we are one moment closer to HIS return right now then we were when I began to write this devotional- but are we anticipating His return? Or are we just procrastinating the work He has given us to do -saying to ourselves -He will not be here tomorrow - but the facts are we are not sure we will be here tomorrow- the morning comes but then the night comes once again -its a cycle - day and night - life and death - we all will have to face the physical death - but that's not the big issue -were we spend eternity is the big issue - lets wait for our LORD with eager anticipation -knowing that in the blink of the eye -HE could be here!
Lets wait - and wonder - and seek GOD'S face while its still called today!
A SIDE NOTE:
Lets face it - our lives here are very short- compared to what lies ahead - we have not been here that long - 20, 30, 40 , 50 , 60 years - still is very short- since we know we won't be here for long -lets make the most of it - today is the day that the LORD has made - we need to rejoice and be glad......
in CHRIST we wait with patience!
