It’s not bad to have expectations but we need to be careful. Sometimes we get disappointed when things don’t look the way we thought it would look… it’s not bad to be hopeful, but we got to let God flow… The word of God says “ lean not on your own understanding….trust not in your own understanding”. We aren’t God so we won’t always get the full picture. Sometimes we get prophetic words and we think we know how it will look or happen. But when it happens we reflect and think… wow this is actually how God wanted it to happen. Or wow God… it already happened !!! We can be so focused on how we thought it would look like. Guys one thing about our God is that he is perfect in all his ways… He is a good good Father and loving Father at that. We need to put our emotions and plans aside… God is always working, but are you aligned to his will? This verse is direct, “The mind of a person plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭9‬ ‭NASB2020. You can plan what you want but ultimately it’s up to God. Your Father in heaven knows what you need. You see a lot of times God doesn’t give us what we want when we want it because he knows we will ruin it. We will ruin it because we aren’t ready. He’s God, he sees all things, so he knows. We live in this bubble and God lives outside of it because he’s our designer, he knows all. ‬‬Expect that God is always working on your behalf but that he knows best. He sees all things, knows all things and hears all things… Now I’m not telling you to not expect things from God, but I want you to expect more on the side that God knows best. Expect that he will give you the desires of your heart according to his will. He won’t always give you exactly what you want because what you want may hurt you or ruin his plans…

Then we have the type of expectations where we expect a lot from human beings… Humans will never ever be able to meet our expectations because they aren’t perfect. I’ve had to learn this the hard way because I used to expect so much from people. That is why I choose to keep my eyes fixed on the constant one which is the man upstairs, our Father. He is the same today, yesterday and forever. He won’t fail you like humans will. I think in knowing this, that people will fail us because they aren’t perfect, it helps us not be discouraged. What it is that we do is that we put people on a pedestal, when they can’t possibly meet it. Even we ourselves have failed people, so why do we assume others won’t. Once we understand that people aren’t perfect, but our God is, It helps us better understand humanity and pushes us to give our complete all to God. It makes us want to become more one with the Father, because we understand that only he can satisfy us… We were never made to depend on human beings, but only on God.
