When I hear the word expectation, I immediately think of things that aren’t but should be, or which are but shouldn’t. Expectation, as my heart understands it, relates to the need for change all around me. My expectation of God and of people is directed towards this need for change happening on the earth.
If you remove expectation from the equation, then you’ve basically accepted what is and cease to demand change.
What needs change in your world? You can influence that change by keeping your expectations high. Expect things to change. As long as you continue to expect and make your demand in the spirit, change is inevitable.
It is truly a wonderful thing to be part of bringing change to the world. As troubled as the world is, there is a desperate need for the expectation of the righteous. And as the righteous, our expectation will be fulfilled!
