Following Up – Something personal.

It’s early in the morning and Sunday is before me.

Never did I ever imagine that when the Holy Spirit spoke the word Expectancy into my heart for my Saturday Morning Devotion to Prepare our Hearts for Worship, would I experience a continual teaching on what it is to be Expecting.

Most of the time our lives center on the world’s offerings, we tend to expect little. We are constantly disappointed when we were expecting something much different or a different outcome. This happens in so many ways.

While I was searching for some answers. There have been some recent events and negativism that I have encountered and what seems like a surrounding of people who are negative about everything, I prayed this adapted prayer from Psalm 62:5-8 “O God, my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from You. You are my only rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On you my God rest my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. May I trust in you at all times, May all people come to you; as our hearts are poured out before you with an expectancy of what you will do; may we realize you God as our refuge and strength. Lord I submit to your will – In the mighty name of the one who saves me and gives me hope – Amen

As my burden is lifted, I hope I can keep true to believing and trusting in this prayer and God’s answer. My Haitian friends always say “I receive it or that prayer” but do I. Do I claim the resolve that I can’t be to others what they expect of me to be. I am first and foremost a child of God and the beloved of Christ. I am responsible in experiencing happiness even when others can’t. The only way I am going to experience true healing is in the expectancy of what God is doing.

My continual prayer is to be expectant of the moving of God and how the best is on the way as I completely trust in God’s plan for my life.

Have your way Lord, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
