Transitioning From Believing To Expecting
Hello! Welcome to my blog 🙌
I’m thrilled to be here in this wonderful community. I hope everyone is doing well. Once again, warm greetings to you all.
I’m excited to share this intriguing content with you, and I think you’ll be interested to learn how to shift from belief to expectation. I promise it will be quite rewarding. So, let’s dive into the details!mages.
I hope you are now getting ready for the wonderful things that God has planned for you. Each of us carries dreams and desires deep in our hearts, along with promises we believe will come true. However, there's often a period of waiting involved. You might be anticipating an improvement in a relationship, looking forward to marriage, hoping for a promotion, or waiting to recover from an illness. A significant portion of our lives involves waiting, and it's important to wait the right way.
Too frequently, when things don’t unfold according to our schedule, we become disheartened. Even with promises in our hearts, we might lose hope and accept things as they are because we aren’t waiting properly. The Bible instructs us, “Be patient as you wait,” indicating that waiting is inevitable. It also encourages us to adopt the farmer's mindset of waiting with expectancy.
Waiting should not mean sitting idly while feeling pessimistic about our circumstances. To wait with expectancy means to be hopeful and positive. Each morning, we should wake up anticipating good things.
Even amidst challenges, we should believe this day could bring about the change we need. Waiting should be an active, engaged process. The right way to wait means being observant and speaking as if we truly believe what we hope for will happen. Actions must accompany our beliefs and prayers.
For instance, I talked to a young man named Scott, who dreams of going to college, despite being the first in his family to do so. He began listing all his concerns and obstacles. I encouraged him to take a step of faith—by filling out an application, touring the campus, and talking to counselors. I advised him to prepare for success. If he takes steps in faith, God will handle the challenges he can't overcome.
Often, we might believe positively in one aspect while our actions suggest otherwise, inadvertently preparing for failure.
If you come from a family with a history of divorce, rather than worrying about future relationships, plan for joyous milestones, like your first or 25th wedding anniversary. Speak positively about your marriage and eliminate uncertainty. Instead of saying, “If we make it,” declare, “When we make it!”
