Great Expectations

Have you ever been in a situation that you can saw God at work in a way that is completely different than you would have imagined?

In the Christian life we hear about the many ways the Lord is at work. How he moves in people's lives, in the church, through ministries, at conferences, through books we read and even His his work throughout history. Simply put, we should expect great things from God. He hears and answers our prayers.

I also believe that we shouldn't expect things to happen in the same way they did once before. I think sometimes we can spend our time expecting something to happen one way and we completely miss where God is really moving. God is infinitely more creative than just simply repeating the same process. Even things which seem "routine" still don't play out exactly the same way. The results might be similar but underneath the surface lies an intricate series of events we couldn't have imagined possible. With that said, I believe the key for us to remember is that God answers prayers but we don't know how He is going to respond or what He'll do. He might not even give you the answer you're hoping for. Through everything, wee must wait and pray with anticipation.
