"But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive everything promised to us who are right with God through faith."
Galatians 5:5
NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
What are you expecting in life - Good things? Big things? Little things? Or anything at all? Whatever it is that you are expecting from God, He wants you to get your hopes up. The Bible says, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for."(Hebrews 11:1). One definition of hope is confident expectancy.
Your expectations set the limits for your life. Your life is limited based on your expectations. 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 Matthew 9:29: "According to your faith be it done unto you." One translation simply says: "Have what your faith expects."
Make the decision to expect he favor of God in your life. Start expecting God to meet all your needs. Start expecting to overcome every challenge you encounter. Live every day of your life expecting God's blessings over your life. Don't give up all your hopes. Let us not become weary in waiting for our hopes and expectations be fulfilled. For at the right (proper, due) time we will receive everything promised to us through faith.
