expect more


 

What are you expecting from God this week?  No I do not believe that our lives are just here to be a receiver from God, yet when we see what God is doing and expect more of the same we will know we are blessed and be a blessing to others.  Think about it.  Expect it!


Ephesians 1:3  NLT  

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.


God has blessed you.  Expect more and live in it.


Deuteronomy 1:30  NLT  

The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt. 


God is going ahead of you because He is on your side and fighting for you.  Expect more and live like it.


Psalm 108:4  NLT  

For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.


God loves you and He is reaching to you.  Expect more and share with others.


Kind of simple?  But a great way to start a new week!

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
