Daily Expectation

Happy New Year!!

It's the fifth day of the year and I am so excited about what is in store for you this year! It's always so nice to know you get to start off the new year with a fresh slate. Everything that happened in 2015 can stay there and you can set the tone of the new year by declaring what you will have and what you are going to expect as the year progresses on! I pray you take full advantage of your fresh start!

Coming in to this new year, I decided to create a blessing jar. My husband and I write down anything that we feel is a blessing each day and place it in the jar. At the end of this year, we will go back through our blessing jar to take a look at how good God has been to us all year long! I was so excited to start. This is only the fifth day of the month and I have gotten to place something in the jar everyday!

Yesterday, as I was talking with God, I realized that my excitement level was high and I said, "God, I can't wait to see in what way you bless me today!" At that moment, I realized my expectation had been set. After only three days of paying attention to the ways God blesses me, whether it be something big or something small, I have built such expectation. Everyday now, I am expecting God to make His presence known in my life and I can expect to be able to write something down and place it in the jar before my day is over.

Do you have daily expectation? When we have a daily expectation from God, it puts a demand on Him to show up. He knows we are expecting to see Him and our God is a God who does not disappoint. God loves us so much, He will make sure we obtain the desires of our heart and if He is the desire, He will all the more want to give us more of Him!!

Setting your expectations on Him and recognizing Him in the small and large details helps us to grow more confident in the fact that He is with us, that He hears us. It builds our trust in Him. My daily expectation has alleviated so much worry and stress. I know every day, God is going to allow me to have something to place in that jar. I wake up with such joy and excitement each day, almost like a kid on Christmas morning!

I challenge you to expect God, daily! Look for Him in all that you do. Deuteronomy 4:29 reads: "But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul". If you seek the Lord, you will find Him!! Search for Him today. Expect Him in you heart. God is with you and He's waiting for you to recognize His presence and expect it daily!

Set your expectations high because GREATER IS COMING!!

All my love,
