What are your expectations ? What
you expect...is what you will find. Expectations are what you believe.
Every day you
have expectations-anticipating what you will find, based on what you
believe. Many believe circumstances dictate what they can expect- this
is a worldly lie. As a Christian, your expectations are in Christ-being
sure of what you hope for & certain of what you do not see. Fear
screams, "what you see is what you can expect." No matter what you're
facing...a broken relationship, financial ruin, betrayal of a loved one,
death, war, diseased body, depraved mind...you can expect God's mighty
to save & He will quiet you with His love. God reigns over the seen
& unseen-He holds it all together. Lift your head, have a confident
expectation because Jesus lives in you. Your expectations determine your
livelihood, not the circumstances you experience. Life is full of
cruel & unfair experiences, but you can have a confident
expectation, despite this reality because Christ reigns over all this
world-His truth trumps the reality of what you see. Your expectations
rely on Jesus-He has overcome this world, expect Him to make a way for
you. Daily, you can rely on joy of the Lord being your strength &
Jesus filling you with His joy. You're limited in what you see-things
are impossible for you-this is a reality, but not for God-remember His
truth trumps all reality! God will work out the impossibles you're
facing...if you keep your eyes on Him-He's your confident expectation
every day! (Heb 11:1, Zeph 3:17, Col 1:17, 2 Cor 5:7, John 16:33, Neh
