Last night our fellowship dinner hosted over fifty wonderful folks who enjoyed a sumptuous meal and some great interaction with Christian friends! It was truly a very enjoyable evening!
Thought of the Day!
EXPECT GOD'S BEST
Those who wait for the Lord, who expect, look for and hope in Him, shall renew their strength... (Isaiah 40:31)
What are you expecting in life - good things? Bad things? Little things? Anything at all? God wants you to get your hopes up! The Bible says, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for." One definition of hope is CONFIDENT EXPECTANCY. Did you know you can't even have faith if you don't first have hope?
Your expectations set the limits for your life. If you never expect anything good, you're never going to receive anything good. If you don't expect things to get better, then nothing will get better. God promises to meet you at your level of expectancy. That's why Jesus said in Mathew 9:29, "According to your faith be it done unto you." One translation simply says, "Have what your faith expects."
Start expecting to overcome every challenge you face and for God to meet all of your needs! Live every day of your life filled with anticipation that God is going to bless you abundantly above and beyond your wildest dreams!
Prayer:
Dear Father, thank You for Your hand of blessing on my life. Today I purpose in my heart to raise my level of expectancy and hope in You. Thank You for putting Your desires in my heart and bringing them to pass in my life.
