Expect

Expect...it's a funny little word that I've been thinking a lot about lately and it just keeps coming up. To expect something is to look forward to, to anticipate, to consider something to be probable or certain.

Expect great things of God!

Why is it so hard to expect God to come through and expect him to do awe inspiring amazing things? Maybe it's because we've been taught not to raise our expectations so that we aren't disappointed people have told us to keep our expectations realistic so that we aren't let down. But that's not how it works with God. Our God is SO great, and powerful that it is foolish not to expect Him to come through and do amazing things!

God is in control of everything, which means we will never have to worry about being disappointed! Our God is able to do far more abundantly than we could ever ask or imagine! He wants us to expect great things of Him and he wants to blow us away with is amazingness!

Expect more of God! Expect Him to show you life changing things every day! Wake up ready to listen to what God has to say to you! Ready to experience more of his love and grace!

God is there and ready to reveal himself to you, we just have to be ready to listen and expect God to show us more of himself daily!

Are you ready to take Jesus at his word? He says that if you ask, you will receive. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened. I suspect we expect little things from God. We don’t really expect God to change things. We just expect him to help us cope. We have not because we ask not. We do not believe God will deliver, so we do not give him the chance. I challenge us all to pray expecting God to do amazing, miraculous things—things you can scarcely imagine. God can do it. He will do it!

"Now to him who is able to do immesurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
