Psalm 130:6 My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning
In this Psalm, the Watchmen waited for the morning because all night they Kept watch by the City Gates to keep on the alert against the enemy So the people would sleep in safety through out the night. The watchman was eager to wait for the morning, so he can refresh his body with sleep!
The psalmists put His hope in the Lord, His souls desire was to wait for the Lord, eagerly wait for the Lord, he knew it was the Lord who would give His Soul great rest!
In Matthew 11:28 Jesus offers this Rest from striving, rest for your soul to find acceptance before God: "come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and you will find rest for your soul! Salvation rest in Christ!
Jesus' words of comfort was prophesied in Isaiah 50:4 The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary."
And fulfilled in Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
To wait for the Lord, to hope in Him is my souls desire; in the Lord I find Rest and great peace. My soul waits for the Lord, more than the watchman for the morning; know this, that in the Lord my refreshment, rest and Salvation is found.
Some will wait for the temporary pleasures of this life and would deny their souls rest, they wait around for sin's dominance and control. But my soul will do well to find eternal comfort, rest and hope in the Lord.
Remember this, there is no rest in sin's dominance and Control!But a restless wondering about, and wanting but never being satisfied!
How can you rest content in life tolerating sin's control at the same time?
A soul is restless until it finds deliverance from sin and death In God alone!
Will you deny your soul rest in the presence of God, by chasing after the temporary resting places of pleasures, riches, fame and worries and cares for status in this life?
Why starve your souls hunger and thirst? Why ignore its desperate plea and cry for mercy and deliverance, as you go on in deception chasing after things that do not last?
