God is using Haiti to open up ears, eyes and hearts to Him and His
power. His Kingdom is moving and we are moving with Him.
power. His Kingdom is moving and we are moving with Him.
Within this Kingdom move, the greatest challenge for the believer is to live with expectancy but not with expectations. Will I … Will you live each day in expectancy that God is going to reveal His power but not predetermine how it will happen?
Yeah, you say you want God to move and show you that He is God. But, can you give up your expectations of the “what, when, where, who and how” of God’s moving and simply trust that He will?
“Be still and know that I am God”
(Psalm 46:10)
- Be (Being) still (Stop striving against God and His way and become weak in your own power and abilities)
- and know (personally experience the power of God operating in your life).
- If we try to “box” God into our expectations, we will miss His move.
- If we live with expectations and they are not met, we will take offense and try to “steer” God’s move by making our own paths.
- …other results (you suggest) …
For me, it all boils down to TRUST. God is teaching me the depths of His intimacy with me through the truths of Proverbs 3:5-6. Here are some questions for you to ponder:
- Do you Trust IN the Lord?
- Do you Trust IN the LORD With ALL your heart?
- Do you Lean NOT upon your own understanding?
- Do you Acknowledge Him in ALL your ways?
If you can say “YES” to all four questions above … HE WILL make your paths straight!
But remember, it will not look like you think it will… (ouch!).
