Daily Prayer_October 14, 2011

The Word of God for wisdom:

Proverbs 14:2 (ESV)
Whoever walks in uprightness fears the Lord, but he who is devious in his ways despises him.

The Word of God for inspiration:

Psalm 37:34 (ESV)
Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off.

The Word of God for encouragement:

Ephesians 1:13-14 (ESV)
¹³ In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴ who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

My observation:

The Psalmist concluded his meditation with a good and glorious word, that word is our focus for today. It is the word "wait". This word is better than a good word, it is a godly word. There is nothing that should inspire God's people more than the thing that David admonishes the people of God to wait for. What are the people of God waiting for? It is our inheritance God has promised to his believing children. I am convinced and confident that it will be worth the wait.

Psalm 37:11 (ESV)
But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.

Psalm 37:18 (ESV)
The Lord knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever;

Psalm 37:22 (ESV)
for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off.

Psalm 37:29 (ESV)
The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever.

My prayer:

Father God, Abba, Father, I am so grateful and so blessed to be a recipient of eternal life. Father, the extent to which you went to provide and secure this precious gift for me overwhelms me. Father, it is only when I see you face to face, and behold the smile on your face will I begin to comprehend the enormity of the inheritance you have provided for me. Praise the Lord!
