FROM THE DAILY BREAD: READ PSALM 27 WITH SO MANY INSTANTANEOUS FORMS OF COMMUNICATION TODAY, OUR IMPATIENCE WITH HEARING A REPLY FROM OTHERS IS SOMETIMES LAUGHABLE. SOMEONE I KNOW SENT AN EMAIL TO HIS WIFE AND THEN CALLED HER BY CELL PHONE BECAUSE HE COULDNT WAIT FOR A REPLY! SOMETIMES WE FEEL THAT GOD HAS LET US DOWN CAUSE HE DOES NOT PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE ANSWER TO A PRAYER. OFTEN OUR ATTITUDE BECOMES, ANSWER ME SPEEDILY, O LORD; MY SPIRIT FAILS! BUT WAITING FOR THE LORD CAN TRANSFORM US INTO A PEOPLE OF GROWING F AITH. KING DAVID SPENT MANY YEARS WAITNG TO BE CROWNED KING AND FLEEING FROM SAULS WRATH. DAVID WROTE, WAIT ON THE LORD; BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE WILL STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART. AND IN ANOTHER PSALM HE ENCOURAGES US WITH THESE WORDS, I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD, AND HE INCLINED TO ME , AND HEARD MY CRY. HE... SET MY FEET UPON A ROCK, AND ESTABLISHED MY STEPS. DAVID GREW INTO A MAN AFTER GODS OWN HEART BY WAITING ON THE LORD. WHEN WE GET FRUSTRATED WITH GODS APPARENT DELAY IN ANSWERING OUR PRAYER, IT IS GOOD TO REMEMBER THAT HE IS INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING FAITH AND PERSEVERENCE IN OUR CHARACTER. WAIT ON THE LORD! SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! THY WINGS SHALL MY PETITION BEAR TO HIM WHOSE TRUTH AND FAITHFULNESS ENGAGE THE WAITING SOUL TO BLESS. GOD STRETCHES OUR PATIENCE TO ENLARGE OUR SOUL...
