REALITY is that we have EXPECTATIONS.
But what if our EXPECTATIONS become our REALITY?
EXPECTANT PEACE~
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to GOD; And the peace of GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in CHRIST JESUS" (Philippians 4;7)
EXPECTANT STRENGTH~
"I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13)
EXPECTANT JOY~
"Be joyful always,
Pray continually,
Give thanks in all circumstances;
For this is GOD'S will for you
in CHRIST JESUS" (I Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Let's all LIVE today
with
REAL EXPECTATIONS~
"My response is to get down on my knees before the FATHER, this magnificent FATHER who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask HIM to strengthen you by HIS SPIRIT—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that CHRIT will live in you as you open the door and invite HIM in. And I ask HIM that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of JESUS the extravagant dimensions of CHRIST'S love.
Reach out and experience the breadth!
Test its length!
Plumb the depths!
Rise to the heights!
Live full lives, full in the fullness of GOD" (Ephesians 3:16-18 MSG)
Oh how
EXPECTANT
PEACE & STRENGTH & JOY
becomes our new
REALITY
when we are so immersed in the ONE who has given us life.
Oh LORD
you can
