- With Expectancy
Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off. – Proverbs 23:18
An expectation is a strong desire and belief that something will happen, and living in anticipation of it. The first word in today’s verse, “Surely,” is an assurance of the future that follows. Are you aware of your expectations for the future? Is there something you are thinking of, looking forward to, focusing on, or hoping for that God has in store for you? What are you anticipating?
In Jeremiah 1:5, the Lord tells the prophet, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you: I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” And then God affirms in Jeremiah 29:11, “I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord; plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” He then urges people to come to Him, pray to Him, and seek Him (vv. 12-13).
Having expectations concerning what God is doing and will do requires faith. You must look beyond your circumstances. Embrace what God’s Word says about your expectations with hope and confidence in His faithfulness. Wait for His timing and live with integrity. God is working behind the scenes, and “it will surely come, it will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3).
Learn to expect the unexpected from God. Pray that He will work in unexpected ways with the president and his administration.
