Waiting here for this
appointment
Reminds me of fishing.
Anticipation!
Anticipation for the
Doctor’s exam,
And anticipation for the
fish to bite.
It seems to me that I am
hungry for the event to occur,
But the excitement that
builds in the wait,
Is not only an enjoyable
part of the event,
But it may be the best part
of the entire incident.
I get excited in the Lord,
And yet what He may have me
walk through,
The trial, the suffering,
the commitment, the endurance,
Building me up in Him, my
anticipation of His glorious outcome,
Gathers up in me all that I
really need.
My excitement of Him is the
wealth of all that He does in me.
My anxiousness of His
completion in me, is as great, perhaps greater,
Than the earnings at the
end.
Anticipation!
I am never tired at the end
of a great day walking the shore of a river.
I am never weary after an
afternoon of sitting on the bank of a lake.
The experience enjoying
being there exceeds my need to catch a fish.
Anticipation may be my best
reward.
In the same way, I wait with
great anticipation for miracles in my life.
I wait in wonderful
excitement, anxiousness, and joy.
But here’s the difference
of Godly things and earthly things,
Anticipation on earth may be
my greatest enjoyment of the total exciting event,
Yet, I know that the wait to
see my Lord is nothing compared to seeing Him.
Anticipation will be
forgotten when glory comes.
On earth anticipation is a
reward, but then, Glory, will be even a greater reward.
That’s why I’m so
excited.
Anticipate!
For the end will bring in the beginning of glory with God.
Now that is worth being
excited about.
Anticipate then, anticipate
being with the Lord. Anticipate it
in joy!
