Expectation!

Posted on Sep 5, 2012 in BLOG |

Today’s Scripture:

“God, the One and Only – I’ll wait as long as He says. Everything I hope for comes from Him, so why not?” (Psalms 62:5 The Message)

Today’s Thought:
People have often made the comment, “I wish I had more faith!” Does your faith feel as if it is on empty? It can be really difficult when we have prayed and prayed over a situation and nothing seems to be happening or things appear to be getting worse. That is definitely not a pleasant experience. It is in these times that our faith is truly tested. Remember, God does hear our prayers and He knows what He is doing. We must have confidence in our prayers knowing that the answer is on the way.
 

I recall where a mother said to her son, “Johnny, come into the house while mother prays for rain.” And the boy said: “In a minute, mother, I want to bring my wagon in so it won’t get wet.”

That’s the faith that we must have – EXPECTANT FAITH. Expectation gains the attention of God. The bible says in Psalms 62:5, “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.” We must get into agreement with God about our future. God desires to become completely involved in our life. It is when we have a heart of expectation that our faith increases and sustains us during our time of waiting.

So today I encourage to keep on praying and believing God for your miracle. God hears the cries of your heart. Like the little boy above have a heart of expectation. I encourage you to pull your wagon indoors, it’s getting ready to rain.
