Does your hope have expectations? For instance, do you ever say: I put my hope in God for… my health to get better… or my income to improve….
I asked a pastor, “What do you put your hope in God for?” to see if he’d tell me what realistic expectations I could have of God.
He said, “I don’t put my hope in God for anything… I simply put my hope in God.” That floored me.
What would it look like to simply say, “God, my hope is in you. I have no expectations about what you’re going to do for me. I simply will trust you. That you love me, that you’re caring for me, and will continue to make good out of all things, even if they don’t look so good to me.”
My desire is to place my complete hope in God, without having any expectations about how he should be doing his job.
Remember, choose hope today.
Why do I ever think God needs my input to decide what’s best for me 🥴 ???
