Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

We must wait on God and expect Him to open doors we cannot see. Make paths where there are none. God is the only one that knows what is best for us.

If we do not seek Him, if we refuse to wait upon His leading, if we do not place our expectations in Him, we go down paths not intended for us. We destroy ourselves, miss out on God’s blessings and end up in sin, simply by disobedience.

Our expectations can never rest on men or even ourselves. We fail. We are imperfect. I’ve been told to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. At what point has God ever asked me to expect the worst? To prepare myself for disappointment when it comes to trusting HIM? Psalm 115:3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Yes, I’ve been disappointed, but it is only when I have wanted MY way. When I have refused to accept God knows what is best and His will for my life is perfect. I have been the most miserable when I have expected MY PLANS to pan out exactly the way I wanted. Here’s the truth, no one in my life ever follows the script I’ve written. I am not in control.

I have learned when MY way fails, God’s way is perfect. Yes, I learn the hard way or at least I used to. Recently I’ve adapted the thought process of, Thy Will Be Done, Not Mine. That thought process has brought me out of my own expectations and into God’s will for my life. Place your expectations in God. He never fails.
