What do you expect??

Woke up this morning earlier than I would have wanted, thanks to a call from my dad who must have forgotten he is one hr ahead. Natural tendencies would have moved me back to bed but am up, pondering... Out of my mind now and into yours...
What are your expectations from God for your life and in situations? Matthew 7:7-11 talks about asking and while that can and is used as a sermon, it is not the focus today. So you have asked, after the prayer, the moaning, fasting and all, what do you expect? Before Christ was born, Israel had prayed for a redeemer for so long, they got more than they bargained for, they got the Son and Elijah but because their expectations were set so low/high they missed out entirely on what they could have achieved.

Ask and it shall be given to you, whose child would ask for bread and be given a stone? But then what are your expectations? What is your bread? The woman that nagged the unjust judge nagged for something we most times overlook, she asked for justice. Sometimes we focus so much on the asking, we fail to check our expectations and heart desires and then we seek the stones rather than the bread.

Knock and the door will be opened? No doubt, but there are 2 doors/gates, the wide one which leads to destruction(easily opened I must add) and the strait one which leads to eternal life. Again I ask, what are your expectations? You expect easy? Then the path behind the strait door will not sit well with you.
Seek and ye shall find? Here there is no need to talk or debate because the Word says, seek ye FIRST the kingdom and the knocking and the asking(lol) shall and will be added unto you.

What are your expectations? God has never ever ceased to amaze people who expect him to simply move... His way not theirs. A man raising his arms doing the will of God, caused the leap year as we know it. Many examples are scattered all over the bible, Abraham, expected a son and became the father of nations...
Matthew 7, talks of a lifestyle that should be lived not just about the asking.
What do you expect? Seek God first and He will surprise you. Let God set your standards.
