Our Hope

23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.  

Life is about hope everyone hopes for something better. Everyone desires for something to improve in their lives. Which is natural. But in what do you put your hope? Jesus is the only one that promised rest, salvation, life, forgiveness, love, restoration and freedom. He is the only one that proved an ability to provided those things as a result of His resurrection. He is the only source of hope. Only He can fulfill your hope.

Expectation

¹⁷ ‘Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.  Jeremiah 32:17 (ESV) 

Should we expect anything from God?  If you read chapter 32 at the very end, God said to Jeremiah  "for I will restore their fortunes, declares the Lord.”  For me, I need to expect God to do something for me. Not just because I need him to but because He is Great. Because if I expect nothing from Him I will receive it. Most importantly if nothing great happens in my life how is God glorified? I need to expect Him to do for me according to His will. I need to expect Him to show up in my life situations the same way I expect the sun to rise every day. 

I need Him, I expect Him to be the Father He claims to be.

Expectation

¹¹ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:11 (NKJV)

 

This verse says, that God your Father has prepared some excellent gifts for you. My question is, if God has great gifts for you what are you expecting? I know for me, I need to start expecting great things from God. Why would or should He give me something great if I am not expecting Him to? Every gift I have given to anyone is with the expectation that they will use it and enjoy it to their benefit. Wouldn't be reasonable to think that every gift He gives us is to be used and enjoy for our benefit?  Look at this he is expecting us to ask Him  "give good things to those who ask Him!" I expect that He, God is expecting us to call for the great thing. So that He can be glorified in the use of the great thing you have requested. I want to start living with an attitude and posture of expectation of receiving the gifts of God. I am ready and expecting to receive the great gifts God has prepared for me. Are you?
