Reflections on Supernatural Stories

On this sabbath (To Rest), I am taking the day to rest and reflect upon the times in my life when God has shown me His miraculous power. When does it happen? What does it look like? Why am I so prone to doubt, despite the time and time again that things outside of "the natural" have evidenced Gods greatness, love, kindness and power?

As I reflect today, I am impacted by the word E X P E C T A N T.

What does it mean to be expectant? As a mother, expectant means to be in a time of growing and a time of anxious anticipation for something amazing! As a mother, expectant means a time of stretching and some pain, but also KNOWING that through the stretching and pain there is a beauty beyond description awaiting! To be expectant means to KNOW there will be a time of delivery-deliverance!

As we wait upon God to move, to act, to grow us and change us, to stretch us... We can also be assured, He will also DELIVER us! Whether that be in a physical healing, emotional healing, financial healing, relational healing, answered prayers.

When God chooses to deliver us sometimes it is immediate and miraculous, and other times it is through long suffering and patient endurance until we finally see His hand in answered prayers. His ways are not our ways...

Isaiah 55:8-9New Living Translation (NLT)

8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
    “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so my ways are higher than your ways
    and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. (Post from Bible Gateway)

When I say to God, "I NEED YOU!" I have found that in my desperation, more than I need answered prayers or any form of healing (physical, emotional, financial, etc...) it is in my admission of my desperate need for HIM above all that opens my life up to recieve HIM  A  N  D  all He has in store 

1 Corinthians 2:9 

but just as it is written, “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”

GOD always, ALWAYS has better-good-amazing-freedom-healing-hope-wholeness-love in store for us!

BE EXPECTANT sweet brothers and sisters!
