An Attitude of Expectancy

"Place all your worries on Him since He takes care of you." - 1st Peter 5:7

There is a new mindset I'm adopting and I'd like for you to make it your own as well. Throughout the bible there are many, many cases of the Lord providing exactly what someone needed. Sometimes the Lord went beyond what was expected, but never did He fall short. Never. God's watch over His people isn't something that only lives in scripture but is true in every day of our lives… we just don't allow ourselves to see it. I've worried a lot about the future and what I'm supposed to do with my life but in practicing this mindset, exercising my faith, I've received this indescribable peace. God has made me realize that all my days are ordained by Him. I remember praying in my car last Tuesday morning and there were 3 things that were really troubling me. I asked Him for those 3 days and at the end of the day, I thanked Him because not only was I able to check those things off my list, but they turned out so much better than I had imagined.

My point is that we need to wake up each morning with the expectation that God will give us every single thing we need on that day. We need to have an attitude of expectancy. We won't worry. We won't be over anxious, but we will trust in the Provider. If you want the faith that moves mountains, that happens one day at a time. It happens when you repeat in your mind constantly throughout the day that you will put your trust in God because He takes care of you… today, and the next day. All your days are in His hands. Learn this. Repeat it. Believe it. Have it on your mind always.

Today's Prayer:
Lord, I believe in You. I trust You. I know You will provide me with every thing I need each day of my life. I need nothing else but You. In Your Name we pray, amen.
