For the last 27 years, with just a few minor lapses, we have been able to maintain and exude an attitude of excitement, expectation, and anticipation in our relationship with Yahweh. From the moment we committed our lives to Christ to today, our journey has been enhanced with some of the greatest adventures – we feel so fortunate. Yahweh has helped us to become and achieve so much more than we could have ever asked or thought. He is so faithful!

While traveling through an airport one weekend, we bumped into an old friend. We had once been to each other’s houses for fellowship, prayer, and exhortation of the Word. He had been such a strong believer – full of zeal and faith. As we stood and talked, it became ever so clear and disturbing. What had happened to our friend? Where did the excitement, expectation, and anticipation for Yahweh and His kingdom go? It was so apparent to us that the challenges of everyday life had zapped the very light from his eyes. As we departed, we were sobered and saddened at the countenance of our friend. He was going through the motions, but somewhere along the way, he got disconnected from the source (Yahweh).

When we truly walk in daily fellowship with our Heavenly Father, how can we not be filled with excitement, expectation, and anticipation? He is the Creator of the universe, the Great I AM, the One who was, who is, and is to come. “The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.” Psalm 89:11 He is looking for us to rule and reign – to bring heaven and earth together. He has given us all that we need: redemption through Christ and the empowerment of His Holy Spirit.

When we walk in obedience to His word with clean hands and a pure heart, we can have full confidence He is working all things for our good. We should expect to have His favor, His wisdom, His knowledge, and His blessings. Increase us Yahweh, until Your Glory covers the earth…
