5 minutes on the word....
Expectant
Waiting
in joyful anticipation. Hoping for the
good that’s coming just around the corner.
Expect. Expecting.
Expectant.
There’s
a positivity about the word expectant…my eyes get big and my mouth curves up
when I say the word. Almost like there’s
a secret in the air and I’m about to be one trusted with that secret. “I wonder what’s coming?” “What does God have
up His sleeve?”
We sing
a song here on the Africa Mercy with the words “Great things He has done….Greater
things He will do” – that’s expectant. I know
He’s going to come through (even if it doesn’t look like it) – that’s
expectant. It
doesn’t make sense to me but I know He’s got a plan – that’s expectant.
It’s not
always an easy place – there’s waiting as you are expectant. Sometimes we aren’t the best at waiting…but
without the waiting there would be no room for being expectant....no room for
the Holy Twinkling Love to say “just hang in there…I’ve got something AMAZING
heading your way.” “Be patient…it’s
coming.” “In just the right time, all
will be revealed….”
Let’s
be expectant people…waiting with great joy and hope (and Divine patience) for
what’s to come. Trusting that it will be
good…and worth waiting for.
