HAVE POSITIVE EXPECTATIONS
“For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.” Proverbs 23:18!
Comment: The Word of God declares in Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the SUBSTANCE of THINGS HOPED FOR, the evidence of things not seen”. One of the dynamic products of our faith in God is POSITIVE EXPECTATION. Faith always incubates positive expectation. Hope is defined by someone as “a positive expectation of something good happening to you”. Faith is never strong without hope. Hope for positive expectation is a powerful tonic for faith.
As strong as faith is, faith is lazy, latent, and indolent without positive expectation. When God said let there be light, there was light to the extent that God said the light was good. God was expecting nothing but what He called into existence to happen. When we pray, we are required to exhibit positive expectation because Jesus said in Matthew 7: 7-8 “Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh, receiveth and he that seeketh, findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
Faith is an action or behaviour….a knowing that what we are seeking will be done or be ours.
Prayer : LORD bless us and help us to keep hope alive that all our expectations should never be cut off through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
