Expect God's Best

"Those who wait for the Lord, who expect, look for, and hope in Him, shall renew their strength..."

(Isaiah 40:31)

What are you expecting in life---good things? Bad things? Big things? Little things? God wants you to get your hopes up! The Bible says, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for...". One definitions of hope is confident expectancy. Did you know you can't even have faith if you don't have hope?

You expectations set the limits for your life. If you never expect anything good, you're never going to receive anything good. If you don't expect things to get better, then nothing will get better. God promises to meet you at your level of expectancy. That's why Jesus said in Matthew 9:29, "According to your faith be it done unto you." One translation simply says, "Have what your faith expects."

Now I'm going to tell you this...when you really start putting your faith out there, satan will put something in front of you to get you to doubt. I know this personally. But, just because you see, hear, feel, etc. something that is stating, "God isn't going to do this....it's not working" doesn't mean it isn't working! Our part is to only believe. Don't be moved by anything in the physical realm. Just continue standing on God's promises. Put your faith in Jesus, not the problem.

Start expecting to overcome every challenge you face and for God to meet all of your needs! Live every day of your life filled with anticipation that God is going to bless you abundantly above and beyond your wildest dreams!

Prayer: Dear Father, thank You for Your hand of blessing on my life. Today I purpose in my heart to raise my level of expectancy and hope in You. Thank You for putting Your desires in my heart and bringing them to pass in my life.
