Walking the World with a Reverent Air


In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you 
and wait expectantly. 
Psalm 5:3


There are times in our lives when we just KNOW what it is like to wait expectantly...

When the birth of a child is approaching...
When a long-awaited visit from a loved one is nearing...
When a much-anticipated trip is coming soon...

At these times, moments sometimes CRAWL by because we are so filled with expectation and excitement for the thing that is about to happen.

What if...we attempted to live today like that?

What if...our simple prayer today 
was that the rest of this day wouldn't fly by in a blur of activity, as many do...
but that we would be sensitized to God's presence in the little, holy moments we often miss?

What if...we walked the world today with a reverent air,
waiting expectantly...
KNOWING God is going to show up?
Our only challenge is to notice it.

Try listening to the song "Holy Now" by Peter Mayer
(A Minnesota-based singer/songwriter)

And sing along with his recurring line...
"I walk it with a reverent air...because everything is holy now."
