EXPECTATIONS

Everyone on planet Earth has their own expectations.We expect that people will be nice to us,that we will all be in good health, there will be no negative change in our circumstances,that nobody will rock our fragile boats, that we will have faithful friends and successful marriages.But what do we do whan life does not live up to our expectations? In fact, rarely does life tune in to our own whims and fancies.Things will go wrong and they will.Maybe for you-people have not lived up to your expectations and you are terribly disappointed.The Bible is full full of people who got into horrible disappointments.Joseph,John the Baptist and Paul were all in prison.When we get stuck in a difficult position its difficult to be positive.But Paul said that his suffering was actually furthering the gospel.(Phil1:12)

Maybe its an uncertain future that you are facing. Difficult situations at home and at office or a troubling relationship that saps your energy and leaves you exhausted.Do not suffer alone-talk to someone who will pray together with you.Or if you dont want that-Take time alone to be with yourself and sit in some corner with a Bible.The truth is,everyone is going through something.So you have to deal with your journey. "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Psalm 23

Paul's only expectation- for Christ to be honoured no matter what.( Phil 1:21)
