What Should We Expect from God?
In light of things I’ve been experiencing, conversations I’ve been having, music I’ve been jamming to, and stuff I’ve been reading, I’ve been wondering that question a lot lately… what should we expect from God?
Should we expect happiness?
Gloom?
Smiles?
Suffering?
A healthy family?
Health at all?
Socks and Shoes?
Should we expect success?
Riches?
A roof?
Sunshine?
A job?
Faith?
Fulfillment?
Children?
Should we expect failure?
Grace?
Love?
Mercy?
Justice?
Truth?
Maybe all we can expect from God is the opportunity to participate.
The opportunity to participate in life.
In His Life.
In His Glory.
In Suffering.
In Joy.
In Creating.
In Mourning.
In Losing.
In Eternity.
We’re born. We live. We die.
And somewhere in between we experience the gammit of what it means to be alive. What should we expect from God? Simply the opportunity to take it all in.
God gives us the opportunity to participate in something bigger than us.
Will you truly participate? Or will you merely distract yourself with something smaller, selfish, personal, and ultimately petty?
