The psalmist tells us today “My soul waits for the Lord more than sentinels wait for the dawn.” Have I ever waited for the dawn? Have I ever longed for something so much that I couldn’t sleep? Do I long for the Lord with such passion? A bigger question may be, why don’t I long for the Lord with such passion? I admit to going through my days not really giving thought as to why I exist and when will I get to see God. The few moments when I really try to live for now, for the Lord–well, those are good moments. When I can remember that God told Moses his name is “I AM” and not I was or I will be, but “I AM” then I am facing my true North and then I long to see the face of God. I really should strive to have more moments like that. Come, O Radiant Dawn!
