#768 - PSALMS 38:15 // PROVERBS 7:1-3
But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer. Psalms 38:15
My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye; bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 7:1-3
Heavenly Father, It’s you who I wait upon. It’s you who has the answers I need and want. It’s you. Not my wife. Not my friends. Not my family. Not those who I desire to respect me. Not the people in my church. Ultimately, I do not wait on any of these people to give to me or be for me what only you can give and be. They don’t have the answers you have. They don’t have the insight you have. I praise you Lord that I don’t have to be disappointed in whether or not the people in my life are doing, thinking, being, or responding how I think they should in the timing they should. I wait upon you. Your sovereign hand. Your sovereign timing. Your sovereign plan. I wait on you, and I praise you for being worthy of being waited on, no matter how long it may take. I wait on you for timing. I wait on you for resources. I wait on you for opportunity. I wait on you for insight. I wait on you for guidance. I wait on you for next steps. I take responsibility for everything I know to do and am convicted by you to do, and I wait on you for everything else. I love you Lord, and may my waiting on you be worship unto you.
Lord, these proverbs that you are exposing me to and speaking to me through are so life-giving and helpful. I do desire to keep, bind, and write them on my heart as you instruct. Please give me a strategy. Please give me a conviction. Please help me to memorize the Proverbs that you would lead me to memorize. I want to keep them close. I want to keep them accessible. I want to be able to access the goodness of your commands and precepts whenever the time calls for it. I praise you for the words from your Word that I do have written on my heart. Give me a desire for more. I love you Lord and l love your Word. Saturate me with it. Give me a supernatural ability to remember and recall more of what I read. I pray all of these things in Jesus name, Amen.
