Expectancy level rises
We are supposed to expect a lot out of what God’s gonna do on a certain day or in a certain place to certain people, and we all here it over and over: don’t box God.
Why not? Whats it all mean? Well there are many of us out there who say well I know I box God, but what can I really do about it, I mean I’m human I cant just stop boxing God, that’s impossible.
I believe it is impossible. We box God a lot at the beginning not really knowing much about him, but when we start to get to know God and understand how He works, I believe that our box starts to get bigger and bigger, see we will never see all of Gods glory until we are in heaven and if we did we would surely die just like those priests in the old testament.
So the thing is we can never stop boxing God, but our box can grow bigger, as we see God more and more, comprehending his majesty and splendour.
I recently attended a camp where by I stood face to face with what the devil had in planned for a particular night and what God had in mind.
Somebody got terribly injured and when something out of the ordinary happens people are suddenly forced out of their comfort zones and actually don’t have a clue what to do.
When that happens to me, the only thing I can do is pray, and that’s what we did, that’s all we did. No big acts of courageous acts or spontaneous thinking, we all just stopped the fun we were having and started to pray.
It was one of those times where you see things differently and your perspectives get shifted off the scale, you start to see how easy it is to get in a situation like that, and are thankful that it wasn’t you.
You know that all that can happen is either something good or bad, but we knew that the chances of anything good happening here was slim. We left everything up to God, we knew that it was all in his hands, and all we could do was plead and supplicate for his mercy upon the man’s life.
People look at things, people, places in assured ways and when that is switched around they have nothing to fall back on, nothing to retreat too except God, that’s how it should be and we know it but sadly it isn’t.
I am like that and I’m sure you are too. We are so secure in our “friendship” with Jesus Christ that we sit back and become way too complacent. We say alls well, it’ll be fine and yes things will be fine, it is all good.
And when we get faced with the situation of one of your fiends dying in front of your eyes or finding your sister trying to commit suicide, is all things hunky dory now?
That’s up to you to decide. I’m not saying we must not trust in God and believe that He’ll protect us; I’m saying that we must actually know and acknowledge that.
By being expectant of God, and expecting the impossible, the unfeasible, the impracticable are we doing just that?
Believing that the super-natural could happen. I’m not sure of how much I believe it. We’ve all heard of the gift of healing, what like someone healing a guys sore finger? No, I’m saying seeing a guy’s leg grow back in front of you, or seeing a man paralysed get up and walk in the name of Jesus Christ.
That’s the type of thing God wants to do, better, greater, more, more its what He wants, He doesn’t want to be doing these half-hearted miracles He wants the real thing, God is the real thing, He wants to show it.
Yet time and time again we fail in that department, we think we are a “rocking” Christian but yet we box God so much that we restrict the things He wants to do in our lives.
Philippians 3v21
Who shall change our evil body, that it may be fashioned like his glorious body, according to the working that he is able even to subdue all things to himself?
After all our prayer for that guy who’s possibilities of not being paralysed from the head down was slim, we then found out that he was absolutely fine, and there was nothing wrong with him. Great doctors, or something else?
Jesus Christ has everything subject to himself, and everything was created for him and him alone, even us.
So give God all He deserves, let his Full will be done in your life, like I’m trying in mine.
