Do our actions indicate that we are comfortable and have given up? We can’t give up as long as we have breath and britches. God is trying to pull us out. We can’t say that all men are bad and then complain about men (that one was for the ladies). God is telling us to stop focusing our energy on what we don’t have and to start thanking him for what we DO!
Expect More
We need to be careful that we don’t lower our expectations to align with reality. When we do that we no longer need faith, and then we don’t need God because we are MAN-ipulating the situation so that we can feel comfortable. STOP.DOING.THAT. Let go and let God.
Break Out
I used to play PacMan all day on one quarter because I learned the patterns. Learn your pattern and break out of it. Make that decision. The guy in John 5 laid by a healing pool for 38 years full of excuses regarding why he couldn’t get healed, yet he continued just to lay in bed. He certainly didn’t appear to be ready for his breakthrough. He got comfortable being stuck.
BE EXPECTANT – God Wants To Do Amazing Things!
Lord, we are BREAKING OUT of being comfortable. We are expecting MORE. We are changing our thinking. We are praising you in our current situation. We are going to prepare for that breakthrough and watch you break the mold on our pattern. We praise you and thank you for everything you’ve done and are going to do in and around us! Amen!
[God] wants to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. (Ephesians 3:20)
