As I was reading this chapter I was struck with the thought that in the 'Kingdom of Heaven' nothing is done half heartedly or without full intent. I think we live our lives just to get thru and after Sunday's message I am being challenged to live my life with full porpose - intent on believing for the intervention of the Lord in miraculous ways!!! EXPECT! That is the word that has stuck with me. EXPECT the miraculous - the unbelievable - the promises of God!!! And the only way my faith is built up to believe for these things is inI prayer!!! And I am challenged to pray fervently - with much hope - believing that the Kingdom of God will be established on this earth just as it is in heaven. We are the ones that have to be participating in that process though- with all our hearts - with all that is in us.
What are you EXPECTING from God??? The disciples gave up everything for Jesus - but He was right there with them. We can't just settle into our 'good life' in Christ. We have to contend for much more and for others to be added to this 'Kingdom'.
God is moving and stiring His People - and I am soooooo glad!!!
