What Do You Expect?

Your expectations are powerful. Whether they are active in your conscious or your sub-conscious, your approach to life, how you see God, and how you see yourself, set the course of your life.

Many have been conformed to this world and only expect the worst. They feed their hearts on the news continually and their words reflect their expectations.

“men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth . . . ” (Luke 21:26)

Even Christians can have their vision and hope contaminated by giving time to the darkness that surrounds us. But there is a better way to live!

“My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.” (Ps. 62:5)

God needs to become more real to us than the corruption of the world. Many give lip service to a God they don’t know, and then return to a life of fear and anxiety. God is not the Source of their lives.

The Word of God is full of His promises; promises of blessings, favor, health, and victory. Some will immediately remind me of the promise of persecution, but even if true persecution is happening to you, stay focused on the good things of God. The promises of God were always made in an environment of persecution and darkness. It’s what you choose to “see” and expect that is the foundation for your life.

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.” (Mt. 12:35)

The treasure in your heart begins with your expectations. Over the years, I have “rewired” my heart to expect the best. While other believers are wringing their hands and frantic with fear, I have CHOSEN to walk in peace, expecting the blessings and favor of God to overtake me. My expectation is from Him, not from politics, the economy, or the weather. The more I have chosen this path, the more I see the blessings of God on my life. There is a treasure filled with His goodness within. I will bring forth good things. Will you?

Enter Doubt, Exit Faith

Matthew 14:30, 'But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.'

MATTHEW 14:30-31
The reason Peter began to sink was because of his fear. In verse 31 Jesus used the word 'doubt' in reference to Peter's fear. Fear is simply negative faith or faith in reverse. Where did this fear come from? Second Timothy 1:7 says, 'For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.' It didn't come from God. This fear was able to come upon Peter because he took his attention off of Jesus and put it on his situation.

Fear or doubt cannot 'just overcome' us. We have to let it in. If Peter had kept his attention on Jesus, the author and finisher of his faith (Heb. 12:2), he wouldn't have feared. In the same way that faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Rom. 10:17), fear comes by hearing or seeing something contrary to God's Word. We would not be tempted with fear or doubt if we didn't consider things that Satan uses to minister fear and doubt. The wind and waves didn't really have anything to do with Peter walking on the water.

He couldn't have walked on the water apart from Jesus even if it had been calm. The circumstances simply took Peter's attention off of his Master and led him back into carnal thinking. Likewise, Satan tries to distract us with thinking about our problems.

Peter's faith didn't fail him all at once, as can be seen by the fact that he only 'began' to sink. If there had been no faith present, he would have sunk all at once and not gradually. This illustrates that the entrance of fear and the exit of faith do not happen instantly. There are always signs that this is happening. If we will turn our attention back to Jesus, as Peter did, He will save us from drowning. No problem is too big for God. We should cast our care about the problem over on God and just keep our eyes on Jesus, the Word.

How do you use social media intentionally to benefit your business or personal growth? 📱✨ I've been exploring the concept of Mindful Scrolling — using social platforms not just to consume, but to actively engage and grow. It's about breaking the cycle of passive consumption and making every scroll count. Let's discuss strategies to make this happen! https://youtube.com/shorts/fZe....rbgbOfcA?si=VUN-tHNK
