Complacency is a problem for man today. Because of circumstances and situations, many Christians become stagnant and complacent in their walks with Christ. There is a loss of zeal for Christ and His work. It is time for Christians everywhere to arise and move forward again.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)

The prophet Isaiah revealed that those who serve (or wait) on the Lord will have their strength renewed. Those are who feeling worn and tired have to receive the peace and strength that comes from God and the make a conscious decision to go on with the Lord. It does not have to be fast or quick, but it has to be definite. Decide on this day.

You can be as an eagle and soar to heights unknown in Christ and above the situations that are before you. Or, you can run the Christian race with patience, enduring all things in joyful expectation of God’s deliverance. If your pace is slower, simply walk with the Lord in simple faith knowing He will never leave you nor forsake you. It is time to get up, move on, and go on. The choice is yours. You Decide.

As Christians, we are instructed to live by faith. This means that we live in full expectation and hope that God will be with us and will cause all things to work for our good. However, there are times when we can only foresee bad tidings and events in our lives. We do not expect God to bless us or change some of the negative circumstances and situations in our lives. But, there is good news for you today - Expect to be Disappointed!

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. John 8:10-11 (KJV)

The woman caught in adultery surely thought she would be stoned. But we see Jesus disappointing her expectation.  She was forgiven and set free. There are many of you who have made mistakes, sinned, and felt as if there was only bad things in store for you. But get prepared because God is going to disappoint you. What you are expecting to happen, expecting to be stricken with, expecting to experience, it is not going to happen. God is going to disappoint you in order to bless you. The things you are expecting to happen, are not going to happen,. But the things you are standing in doubt of (His promises, His blessings, and His provision), will surely happen. Expect to be disappointed!
