Every morning I pass by this
little nest tuck away in a wild shrub in the middle of a field I walk
through. A month ago that shrub looked dead and barren. However, in just this
short time it's budding and about to hold mama birds bounty! I love to see the
miracle of life even in the smallest creatures. So each day I check it expecting
to see life come forth.
God has been talking to me
about living my whole life with that same expectation I have checking that
nest for eggs everyday. He wants us to live with such a heart of expectation and
to believe that even in the most dead and barren places of our life, He's about
to bring forth something alive and beautiful!
“Thine expectation shall not
be cut off.”
And therefore the Lord
[earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and
therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show
loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy,
fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect
and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His
joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!
Isaiah 30:18
