Do you ever skip over information or not finish reading instructions because you think you know what you’re doing?
Skipping or missing important information can cause us problems and frustration.
Do you automatically think when someone says “I’m expecting” they are expecting a child? That may not necessarily be the truth.
Read what I posted on my personal Facebook page:
We are EXPECTING! !!!! I know, I know pretty crazy isn’t it?? I really don’t want to believe it myself. I wasn’t going to put it on here, because it will be obvious soon enough, but thought I needed to make it official. So now you know, its official. We are EXPECTING another hot day tomorrow!! Wait! What did you think I meant?? LOL! ** Re-post if you have a sense of humor-like me!! **
I received comments telling me they had believed I was expecting a child. If they had not finished reading, they would not have known I was expecting another hot day.
Expect means something is likely to happen.
Do you believe in God’s plan for your life and expect Him to take care of you?
Expect God to meet ALL your needs and bless you.
We say “I believe in God”, but do we truly give Him our all and trust His plan for our life? When things aren’t going like we think they should or our prayers are not being answered fast enough, we get impatient and try to do things our way.
Expecting God to work in your life needs to go from a head knowledge to a heart knowledge.
God knows everything. His plan is perfect. Trust fully in Him, follow His commands, and expect Him to provide for you.
My Facebook post continued talking about how I was expecting. It was not until near the end you found out what I was expecting.
It’s important to expect God to work in your life, but you must continue reading. God cannot fully use you, if you have sin contaminating your life or are not following His commands. Ask forgiveness for sin and get your life right with God. Read His instruction book, The Bible and talk to Him in prayer.
“Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so that it may go well with you.”
Deuteronomy 6:18 (NIV)
Continually spending time with God in prayer and reading His Word enables you to see God’s plan and know what to expect from Him. Daily meditate on His Word and do actions to make God real in your life.
When your life is right with God, you can expect God to do great things!
What can you expect from God?
Expect God to come again, encourage, be in control, guide your life, heal, bring hope, love, show mercy, keep His promises, be powerful, protect, provide, be with you always and more.
God is…
- A Defender
“The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
Exodus 14:14 (KJV)
- A Listener
“O Lord, You have heard the desire and the longing of the humble and oppressed; You will prepare and strengthen and direct their hearts, You will cause Your ear to hear.”
Psalm 10:17 (AMP)
- Faithful
“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.”
Deuteronomy 7:9 (NIV)
Expect God to do great things in your life by having a heart for God!
