Make RoomSample
Keep expecting
How do you live in such a way that God can do immeasurably more in you and through you than you could ever imagine?
First, we identify our priorities. Then, we choose to make room for more of God by fasting. After that, we choose to put God first every day through the practice of spiritual disciplines. Finally, we expect God to move.
The truth? God created you for a purpose. He wants you to have a rich and satisfying life. He is inviting you to become the kind of person who can bring a little bit of heaven to Earth.
The problem? So many of us aren’t convinced that God could ever use us. The idea of God doing immeasurably more through us can sometimes feel unlikely, and for some of us it feels completely impossible. Maybe it’s because of the bad things we’ve done, the bad things that have been done to us, the challenges we’ve experienced in our homes, or the struggles we face every day. So many of us have had the hope beaten out of us to the point that expecting God to move in us seems like a kid’s dream instead of a real possibility.
God wants you to dream again. He wants you to believe, maybe for the first time, what He believes about you. God is inviting you to imagine and to expect what could be and what should be. And God wants you to keep expecting. He wants you to keep believing. He wants you to have hope.
Let your fast make room in your heart and in your mind for more of God by starving the doubts, the fears, and the insecurities you’ve been living with. Let your worship of God feed your imagination and your expectation for God to move. And keep expecting. Keep dreaming. Keep believing. Why? Because God can, and He will, do immeasurably more through you than you could ever ask, think, or imagine.
So, will you make room? Will you put God first? Will you keep expecting?
Challenge: Keep expecting. Stay strong with your fast and do something every day to put God first for the next two weeks! If you miss one day, commit to not missing two. Have grace for yourself (because God has grace for you) and get back at it!
