Isaiah 64:3-4 When you came down long ago, you did awesome deeds beyond our highest expectations....For since the world began, no ear has heard, and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him!(Nlt)
We probably all have dreams and aspirations in life and it makes no difference how old or young we are for them to be fulfilled. God spoke to Samuel when he was still a little boy and led him to be a great prophet of God. He spoke to Abram at 99 years old and changed his name to Abraham and restored his vigour to be able to have many children including Isaac. Abraham went on to be our father in the faith as our example.(Romans 4) Sarah had her youth renewed at the age of 90 so she could have a baby and men desired her! Now that's a wow thing right there!
When we involve God in our affairs this verse encourages us to expect beyond our highest expectations because God is, and can do, beyond everything we can imagine and He works on your behalf and mine. That's maybe hard for us to grasp but He says it, so it is so!
Ephesians 3:20 'Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,'
God delights in us thinking big, imagining big, and looking to Him to do over and above all of that. All He asks is that we trust Him, knowing He wont be late, and to wait with great expectation.
Hope is great expectation of good from God, and faith is the substance of things we're hoping for. It's good to stop and ask ourselves occasionally "What am I expecting, what am I hoping for and faithing for?" because whatever it is, God has something bigger and even better for you than what you're expecting.' Glory to God!
