Expectations
I’m sure you like me have expectations. In Life, Work, Marriage, Kids, and God of Course. Our expectations often seem to be a step above humanity and reality. A Husband can expect a wife to have dinner on the table on his return from work not to mention the ironing done, house cleaned and hovered, while a wife expects the husband to well I’ll not go into that, the blog entry may not take the list. (JOKE)
When it comes to Church I hear the word expectation mentioned all the time, much to my frustration until this weekend. When we come to Church sometimes we want something to happen that will change us and make us better people. I gave a little thought time to this over the weekend, realising for me to not expect God to show up and do His work in Church is putting God in a box – Not a good thing for anyone to do.
When God is in the House things happen, but if those in the Church don’t have any expectation of God moving then maybe we could be part of the blockage to God releasing His Wonder and Glory into His House and Body – the Church.
When we expect God to turn up and move He Will, What are we expecting? Are we limiting God?
Now I know that I am expecting the mighty hand of God to move in our World, Country, City, Town and Home… Sorry God for taking so Long to wake up on this one!
