5:3 LORD,
in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you
and then wait expectantly for an answer.
This is a trend
for my heart to see. The writer of this Psalm prays and waits…expectantly for
an answer! How often do I wait expectantly for an answer? Why don’t I wait for
an answer? Maybe, I don’t really expect one? Hmmm, point taken.
John 1:11-13 He came to what was his own, but his own people
did not receive him. But to all who have received him—those who believe in his
name—he has given the right to become God’s children—children not born by human
parents or by human desire or a husband’s decision, but by God.
The Light is the He here, who is the Word, who is fully God.
He came to His own, the Israelites, and they did not receive Him. But all who
receive Him, all, every tribe and tongue, not just the ones he had initially
chosen to be His people, to all the people of this earth who receive him, you and me, can
become His children.
What does it mean to receive Him? What does it mean to
believe in His name? What is His name? What does it mean to become His children, not born by
humans?
I have my thoughts on how to answer these questions, but I
truly want to read this book with new eyes. I look forward to seeing what is in
His written Word. I am curious to find out how many answers are in this book,
and then how many will need to be found in other books of the Bible.
Lord, thank You! Thank you for giving me the capacity to
read. Thank You for writing a book for me to read that helps me understand You,
that helps me understand the depths of what You have done for me, for all who
will receive You! Thank you for this feeling of impatience in wanted to learn
more about you! And thank you for showing me in the Psalms that I can pray and expect
a response from You. Help me to hear you in the midst of all this worldly
noise, please, I am expecting an answer now.
Thank you!
Larry
