Great Expectations

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not (James 4:2).

It’s a tragic thing to go through life with no expectations, hence, an unfulfilled and fruitless life. Because Jesus loves us, is why we should approach everything in life with great expectations and without fear.  The Bible tells us that we have not because we ask not (James 4:2). We put limits on God based on our limited thinking capacity. If we can’t for see something evolving, then we won’t ask God to bless us. For example, if you can’t see yourself being able to financially sustain a big house, then you won’t attempt to ask God to bless you with a bigger house. God can bless you with a career that will allow you to afford the cost of a bigger home. Many people, out of ignorance make the mistake of saying, “I am happy with the little house and car God has blessed me with,” First of all, God’s blessings shouldn’t be categorized as little. Secondly, you’re implying that God can only do so much. So when you put limits on a limitless God, don’t expect Him to move on your behalf and don’t hate on the next person when He sees fit to bless them in abundance because they trusted Him.

 God is the owner and the creator of the entire universe. And everything in it belongs to Him. He has a mass of unlimited supplies. However, God works on faith. We have to be one-hundred percent confident in God that HE CAN do anything and just because He doesn’t that does not mean that He can’t. If we delight ourselves in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our heart (Psalm 37:4), thus, means to put him first and make Him apart of every aspect of your life: family, career, day-to-day tasks etc. So, when you ask God for something, make sure you have aligned yourself with His word and EXPECT HIM to move on your behalf.

Remember ladies, even Jesus has great expectations for us, thus He left heaven to die on the cross for our sins so that we might have life more abundantly (John 10:10).
