Hope will not put you to shame. | Episode 148

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!
