“And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked.” - [Acts 14:8-10]
Expectations are very rewarding.
Faith is massive!
I have heard people say something like "don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed"
I beg to disagree.
I think you should have high expectations in life.
Every expectation you have is what you would get.
The man in the text was listening to Paul and was filled with faith in His heart.
And Paul could feel his faith! WOW!
Paul could sense the weight of his expectation.
And Paul addressed his faith and the man was healed. His life was never the same again.
What's your expectation like?
Maybe you have none?
Or you have very little expectation.
Truth is, you will neither be disappointed nor blessed.
A life without expectations can never be a beneficiary of miracles.
The Man at the beautiful gate was expectant.
Hannah in Shiloh was expectant.
Blind Bartimaeus was expectant.
What are you expectant for?
I challenge you to believe God for your miracle. Expect it. Have faith and watch your story change.
I believe in you.
