Have you had
your Joy Juice today? Would you say that
your expectations of God are high or low?
Do you feel as though you can trust Him to fill your life with His
continual joy?
Those are loaded questions! Most
Christians experience only a small fraction of what God has planned for them.
If we will study faithfully the Word of God, we will dramatically raise our
expectations of God….because the scriptures are filled with His promises! Psalm 34:8 tells us to : “Taste and see that
the Lord is good!”
There is a passage in Revelation 4:1-2
that challenges us to have great expectations of God. Listen to John’s words: “After this
I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And
the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, ‘Come up here,
and I will show you what must take place after this.’ At once I was in the
Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.”
What do these verses mean for us
today? God calls us to “Come up” to a
higher perspective. Let’s not depend on our human vision but be open to see
things from God’s standpoint…with the help of the Holy Spirit. He wants us to
“Come up higher! And be closer to Him to that we can understand His purpose for
our lives.
We should not settle
for the “same old stuff and just float through our days. We should raise our expectations and trust
God more. He has a banquet table of
blessings ready for us; but how often do we just nibble on a stale snack?
Taste
God’s goodness and expect great joy.
