I Watch in Hope for the Lord

Micah 7:7 – “As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.”

Rev. 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, who is and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Numbers 6:24-26 – “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

These are a reminder to me that I am to watch in hope for the Lord. I am to wait for Him. He hears me. 

He is timeless. Sit and rest in his timelessness. Do not be mastered by time, but be mastered by the Master.

Lord, bless and keep those in my care. Make your face shine upon them, especially Elli today as she is away at camp. Be gracious to them. Turn your face toward them today and give them peace. Turn your face toward me, O Lord, and give me peace.

Come Lord Jesus. Be my breath of fresh air. Holy Spirit - draw near. Fill my house, my family, my home, and Elli as she is away. Draw her near to you. Draw me near to you. Draw me close. I pray my face would be turned toward you, O Lord, and that you may shine upon my heart. Forgive my sin. Breathe on me your wind, your fire, your light, your truth, your Word. Jesus, I give you this day. Strengthen me unto you.

Amen.
