What Are You Expecting?Tuesday, April 19, 2016

"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in your will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

God meets us at the level of our expectation. He doesn't meet us according to our personality. He doesn't meet us according to our degree of talent and ability.  He doesn't meet us according to our financial condition. He doesn't meet us according to our educational background. He doesn't meet us according to our age or marital status. He doesn't meet us according to the color of our skin. He meets us according to our level of expectation.

What does that mean? It means that God can only do for us what we believe He can do for us. It means that if we can expand and enlarge and increase our level of expectation, we can expand and enlarge and increase what God can do in our lives.

Our level of expectation sets the limits for our life. It determines how much God can accomplish in us, through us, and for us. If we only expect little, God is only able to do little. But if we expect much, God is able to do much. We can literally change our world by changing the level of expectation. God is able and willing to work in our lives, and He has every intention of doing so.
