In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.
Here we see a connection between praying and expecting.
As David declares he waits on the Lord and makes the desires of his heart known to the Lord, he then does something important. He waits expectantly.
When we pray and we begin to expect we are on the look out for God moving in answer to our prayer. It is a good way to live. In expectancy, we begin to see and notice the Holy Spirit at work where previously we had been oblivious.
The power of expectancy is we wait in hope of the answer. Expectancy is actually an evidence of faith. Faith in a God who hears and answers prayer. And Faith that in praying it, I will receive and not miss it.
PRAYER: Father, like David I want to pray and expect to receive. I ask you to build my faith to receive from you that which I pray. Lead me Lord, In Jesus name, Amen.
