Are Your Expectations Great

What do you expect out of life? Do you expect success at work, or wealth? Are your expectations great? Think about that phrase "Great Expectations". If you spend any time in the word of God you will realize that your expectations should be great. Not because of promised wealth, but promised life. We tend to focus on so many temporal things, that the things of God are way out of focus. So many people, like the Disciples, want God to do it all now.
The great thing about God is that he doesn't do things on any ones time line but His own. God has a plan, that the Bible says, was set before the foundation of the world. That plan was set in motion the day He began creation, and it will be finished the day we stand before God. God put in His Word the expectations we can have. We can expect God to never change, we can expect God to keep His promises, and we can expect God to be right on time. People are late, they don't keep there promises, and people always change. That makes The expectations we have in God great!

Have a Great Journey!

Upper Management

The hardest thing for us humans to do is relinquish control. We like the power we think we wield. The truth is we are powerless on our own. Every area of our lives will fall to ruin with out the proper management. In the business world "Upper Management" are the people who keep things running smooth and error free. In the Christians life, "Upper Management" is the Holy Spirit. With the Holy Spirit in control, our lives would run smooth and error free. Our problem is we only let him in a few areas; most Christians have trouble submitting every area.

If we don't let "Upper Management" do His job then we will mess things up. Galatians 5:16 says " So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves." If we are "SPIRIT" controlled, sin won't rule our lives but the fruit of the spirit will. Take some time to read Galatians chapter 5 and take inventory on whether you are controlled more by the Spirit or by the flesh. Have a great Journey.
