My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him. Psalm 62:5
I don’t know about you but this is a very exciting time in my life. In spite of the things going on around me (or not going on), to the things that are going on in me, in spite of the tricks, the traps and the devices of the enemy that honestly, come fast and hard, it is still an exciting season for me. Once you get passed all of the “stuff” and begin to see God move on your behalf, you get into a place of happy where He begins to speak directly to everything that concerns you (Ps 138:8) and your faith begins to come into fruition (you see it happening). That is what I have been experiencing and thus my expectations have soared to an all time high, which leads me into a continual preparation, a preparing in the direction where God is leading and thus realizing that His possibilities are endless!
Expectation is to anticipate or to hope; to believe within you that there is probability and possibility; and to wait simply means to hold on, pause for a moment while God works out some things, waiting on His direction and waiting with expectation. Do you agree? Take a moment to seriously bask in the thought for today, Expectation brings Preparation. What does that really say to you today? Where are you in your walk with Christ? Are you in expectation mode? Do your trials and suffering make you stronger or have you retreated? Now is not the time for turning aside or turning back. Keep hope alive. Our trials should cause us to leap from faith to faith when we have successfully come through the process. We must press forward with expectation and begin to prepare as God leads. The Lord is always faithful to us, and the One who shall establish you, and keep you from evil. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. (2 Thess 3:3-5). God is so faithful to us that we should make it our first priority to not only please Him, but be faithful and obedient, as well as taking Him at His word.
I feel strongly in my spirit that this is such a time of expectation, a time of anticipating because hope brings about a preparation of heart and mind. For us as believers, this consists of the work needed and the planning involved to make ready so that we can be used effectively, as well as efficiently in our purpose for advancing the kingdom. Indeed, it is a new era, a period of time significant in the development of me, a time where every event, trial or error that happens, every personality I encounter is for my betterment and my preparation. The Lord says that He is bringing forth the power of His church in this season and it shall be seen and it shall be witnessed in the whole of the earth.
Personally, I want to be a part of that powerful church that He speaks of and that it will be seen in me. Let’s have expectation that brings about a preparation … I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope (Psalm 130:5).
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
