Psalm 5

In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to
you and watch expectantly.

I rarely miss my opportunity to plead my case to the Lord. I trust He’s there to hear, and I believe He hears and answers prayers.

That’s what my mind, my heart, thinks and says, especially early in the day.

It’s the “expectant watching” that I so easily overlook. Once I’ve uttered the prayer, I should be on the lookout for the work of the Lord.

But I lack attention and , if I’m honest, lack faith that prayer ever really changes things, and so I forget, neglect, don’t even think about being on “watch” for the Lord’s work.

Faithless. Weak, I am.

But He is not.

I shall watch, and I shall see the work of the Lord!
