Anticipation

O God,
My life is so noisy-and sadly, it resounds more often with the ringing phones and droning televisions than with praise and worship for you. Do I ever pause and wonder what momentous things you might be preparing to do next in my life? How many moments of awe-inspiring anticipation do I miss by never being still before you? I need your help to discipline myself . Help me to build a few momens of silent anticipation into each day, making time to pray and open myself up to what you want to do in and through me. I pray, God that in these moments, you will reveal enough of your plan to make me ready for your great purposes in my life. I come before you with reverent awe and anticipation for the glorious furture that lies ahead.

*** You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. PSALM 73:24***

Living here I have a new found appreciation for silent moments. Traveling outside of aour area brings lots of noise and movement. The only time this city and state shuts down and becomes silent is when a snow storm hits. Yet its during the wind and snow that there is such a calm and silence you can just look out the window with wide eyes like a child and be in awe of our glorious Father and all his wonders. While most are sad that business had been haulted , I am taking this time to see it as a planned day of family fun provided by The Lord.

You can enjoy the silent calm if you dont appreciate the storm that brought it.-T
