Great Expectation

 Scripture:

"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation." (I Peter 1:3).

Observation:

In this verse, Peter reminds us that we are to give praise to God because it is by His mercy that we have been saved. He finishes this simple verse with the statement, "Now we live with great expectation." This is such a powerful thought.

Application:

I have to ask myself the question, "Do I live each day with great expectation?" Do I live anticipating good things? Do I expect things to go well for me or do I expect things to go bad? As a believer, we have access to the resources of heaven. We have a Father who created everything we see. We have a God who loved us enough to send His only Son for us. Today, I need to expect great things every day and have great expectations of my future.

Prayer:

Father, You are worthy of my all. Help me to live with great expectation each day of what You are going to do in and through my life. Let my faith grow stronger, and my expectation increase. You are incredible! Help me to live like it.

Yours,

 Jeff
