Episode 148: Hope will not put you to shame.

Have you ever had your hopes up and been massively disappointed? And because of that, have been put to shame?

Romans 5:5 says this: And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Hope does not put you to shame. Because our hope is in the Lord.

Let’s talk about expectancy and expectations. Expectations are specific, it’s us having a clear idea of what God is going to do and creating an idea of how it will happen and when it will happen. However, with expectancy, your hands are a little more open, eyes are on the bigger horizon. You have more of an expectancy on how God could potentially move.

Here’s your reminder to check on your expectations. Expectations of other people, yourself, your memories, etc. Are they serving you?

And then check in on your expectancy; are you expectant for how God could move or might move right now?

Are our hopes in his hand moving in some particular way OR are our hopes in his true character?

Even if what we hope will happen doesn't, we get to bring it all to God. Cause when we talk to God about it, we exercise intimacy and there is no shame in entering the throne room with our Father.

Bring ever desire, every fear, every frustration, every delight, bring it all to him, get your hopes up and talk to Him about it.

You will not be put to shame.

We are grateful for you and we’ll see you Thursday!
