Day Twenty: Psalm 130:5-6

Written By Joel Limpic

Read

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

Did you know there’s a watchman in each of us? On a dark night, every soul is on the lookout… For hope, for deliverance, for rescue. There’s an attentiveness and longing for the end of a dark and long night. Where have you set your hope? Sometimes we set our gaze on the wrong places and in the wrong things. The psalmist tells us that the horizon they’ve set their gaze on is on God Himself. Our prayer during Advent is that God awakens in us a deeper hope in God’s Word, and a greater watchfulness in our lives. It’s so easy to live life half-asleep and unaware. Advent comes to us like an alarm clock and reminds us that our King is returning! It invites us to climb the steps and gaze from that watch tower, on the lookout for God’s return, but also asking Him to move through us until He does. What are some helpful spiritual practices that help keep your inner watchman awake and on the lookout for God?
