Living Expectantly
My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. Psalm 62:5 (NKJV)

Living expectantly is faith on tiptoe. It means believing with God that life is worth living.
Your expectation puts a demand on His presence and pulls virtue out of Him. If you have no expectation, your faith has nothing to rest on, and God can do no more than you exhibit faith for.

The two enemies of expectation are self-satisfaction and distractions. Self-satisfaction alerts God that we don’t want another touch. God will not invade the small world of the self-satisfied. Distractions are traitors who keep us in bondage to the unimportant. Distracted saints live with no expectation towards God because their time is occupied with lesser things. Expectation however is the key to the move of the Holy Spirit among the saints. Those who expect nothing never leave disappointed. So, be excitedly and hopefully expectant always. This is your day.

Wisdom Fountain: "To live expectantly is to walk with your eyes open to miracles, treating every ordinary moment as a doorway to the extraordinary."
Prayer: Father God, thank You for Your wonderful promises and the greatness of Your faithfulness. Open my eyes to see Your hand at work in the everyday moments of my life and empower my faith to look for Your goodness with excitement and joy. Align my desires with Your perfect will and strengthen me to wait with patience and an active, hopeful spirit in Jesus’ name.
