Raising Our Expectations

From Experiencing God Day by Day:


"Too often we settle for much less than what God wants to do through us...when we face difficult situations we begin to qualify our belief in God and lower our expectations of what God will do. It is one thing to believe God could perform a miracle in the Bible, or a thousand years ago, or even in the life of a friend; it is quite another matter to wholeheartedly believe God can do anything He chooses to do in our lives!


When almighty God speaks to us, what we do next proves what we believe about Him, regardless of what we say.


Do you sense there may be far more that God wants to do through your life than what you have been experiencing? Ask God to show you what it is. Then be prepared to respond in faith and obedience to what He tells you."
