EXPECTATIONS – Friday June 9, 2017

REVERBERATIONS FROM DAVID’S PSALMS

PSALM 5  …”In the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.” (v.3)

EXPECTATION                                                           

The difference between how David talked to the Lord and how I hear so many others pray is that word, “expectation.”  He really believed what he asked for was going to happen.

Refreshing!

Reminds us that Jesus said the same thing many times to His followers and His words reverberate on down to us as well.  “My Father will give you whatever you ask for in My Name…Ask and you will receive and your joy will be complete.” John 16:23-24.

Guess what.  David’s Lord and the Father that Jesus was talking about are the same Heavenly Father we pray to.  And the same Father who Jesus said would give us whatever also gave David his whatever’s!  That’s awesome!

David was asking God to lead him (v.8) He wanted the Lord to make his way straight.  That’s something you and I need to pray for as well.  It’s so easy to get off the path.  Jesus said the path was narrow.  He was right.

David called himself a man of prayer and he was.  We can be too and in chapter 3 of my little book, “David’s 7 Secrets” I called it, “Live in the Moment” because we need to understand the presence of the Lord is there every minute and we can talk to Him all the time and anytime we want to just like David did.

David ends this Psalm with some really positive shouts for us who love the Name of the Lord.  He says we will be “glad and sing for joy, be protected and rejoice” (v.11) and best of all we will be “blessed and surrounded with favor.” (v.12)

     

     THAT’S SOME GOOD STUFF 

WORTH EXPECTING
