I Waited For You

I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2

 

 

I waited for you.

I waited for you in the morning
hoping you would invite me into your day
I waited for you in the noontime
wishing you’d focus on my face.
I waited for you in the evening
thinking maybe now you’d come to me
I waited for you in the bedtime
longing to hear you speak to me.

 

But you struggled throughout the day
worried and anxious as doubts came your way
you didn’t notice anything I’d created for you.
Overwhelmed you cursed beneath your breath
and by the end of the day you hung your head
when all you needed, it was close as a request

 

To look up at the stars and the moon
the flowers bright in bloom
a sky so pigmented blue
and you would have known it, through and through,
I am always right here waiting for you.

How often do we have the intention of getting up and doing our devotions and prayer time first thing in the morning? Then, the next morning comes, and for whatever reason we do not do it. So, what do we do next? Ahhhh, yes. We say, “I will do it at such-and-such time later today.” But later comes, and well, you guessed it. We wind up lying in bed wondering where the day went and how in the world we got through it without having that time with God.

 

And we wonder why we are in such a bad mood, and everything seems to be going wrong.

 

I am so glad God still listens to me when I am complaining and groaning to Him. But, I have a feeling, God would much rather we go to Him in our distress, than to not go to Him at all. God is waiting for us to come to Him every day. He desires time with us and longs for us to spend our day with Him.

 

From My Heart to Yours,
Marcie
