High Expectations

One of the best reason to get to know God is that you know what you can expect from Him.

Is it possible that the reason you feel unfulfilled in your walk with Him is that you haven't taken the time to get to know Him as a person? You haven't studied His word or sat in the pew on Sunday or taken that little bit of yourself seriously, that tiny, mustard seed sized part, that actually has enough faith to think "He might just exist and He might just love ME?"

Is it possible He is more like a Santa figure that you take requests to, not knowing whether or not He even works in the ways you are asking?

If you have routinely found yourself being disappointed by God, it's probably because you haven't tapped into who He is. When His will and your life collide, miracles can happen. Life moves in ways that are "mysterious". Peace descends in situations where turmoil should reign.

He is the one who has known you since before you were even born. He is the one who has sustained you to even this moment. He is the one who loves you enough NOT to count all your transgressions against you, if only you will take that little, itty-bitty step of faith toward Him.

Is it possible that today is the day that you should try? Open that dusty Bible? Try to figure out who God is and what He has promised and what He has done?

I pray so.
