Expectation
I have been reading a psalm every morning…here are my thoughts from Psalm 5.
PSALMFIVE:5
In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.
Somehow I have lived and believed that my requests to God were not important or worth his time [or mine]. And on some level, it’s probably true – true in that my requests often do not line up with God’s will. So instead of always asking and learning how to adopt his will as my own I just ignored it all and grew further away, missing out and losing much.
I guess I didn’t want to be defeated by false expectations. But instead of having expectations, I resigned myself to defeat from the beginning.
How’s that for an expectation?
[...] the same lines as expectations when I ask God for things is this: asking for his deliverance, for his “salvation.” And not the salvation, but [...]

I find it a lot easier (and eventually A LOT more painful) to sit back, close my eyes, and let the world spin around me. Waking up now and again utterly defeated. But I had closed my eyes with the foreknowledge of my own defeat, had I not? How many chances to we get? What if I already ruined the future for myself? Please eyes….. …. … .. stay open…. please?
