My own expectations get me in trouble a lot in life. I don't want to live with NO expectations, but I also don't want to let them disappoint me because I maybe set them too high...ya know....Anyway, one thing I am thinking over after our service last night is that if I have an attitude of expectation through Christ and I prepare myself spiritually for Him to work....I will not be disappointed. I can't be too choosy about my expectations that I get to the point where I am basically telling Him how to move, but just to have more of an attitude of expectation and excited anticipation for Him to make Himself known.
This was from a devotional I read this morning:
So stop expecting too much from yourself spiritually, or otherwise. Stop expecting instant regeneration, or instant success. Trust in God as you once did. Don’t try to anticipate His moves before He’s made them. Allow Him to grow you at His pace, instead of thinking you can run out ahead. At the same time, don’t underestimate what God can do as you’re faithful with what He’s has already entrusted to you. Live in the expectancy that the good things He’s already given you will produce even better things beyond your expectations. (1 Corth. 2:9)
