Waiting is costly.

So Saul took charge: 1 Sam 13:10

So I took things into my own hands

Not waiting on God is costly.

Forgetting drives urgency, fear and scarcity.

Remembering empowers waiting, watching...

Remembering empowers waiting, watching... hoping.

Remembering fills us with gratitude.

Waiting raises our attention and frees us to watch.

Both (remembering and waiting) move us to pray.

Psalm 130: 5-8
I pray to God - my life a prayer -
a wait for what he'll say and do.
My life's on the line before God, my Lord,
waiting and watching till morning,
waiting and watching till morning,
O _______, wait and watch for God -
with God's arrival comes love,
with God's arrival comes generous redemption.
No doubt about it - he's redeem _______,
buy back _______ from captivity to sin.
