Our Expectations
Are your expectations in line with the Word
of God? In our modern culture, rationalism and humanism abound. Rationalism
trusts the mind of its user—logic is its all-consuming idol. Humanism vaunts
itself up as a form of atheism which contributes success to your actions and
yours alone by saying that God had no role in helping or equipping you to
accomplish or excel. Amidst a world full of scientific rationalists and
self-confident humanists it is very easy to fall prey to their philosophies. Today,
take some time to ask the Holy Spirit to help you to examine your heart for any
false expectations you have and delve into the Word to learn what God’s proper
expectations are for you.
