Expectations

When I call my Mom or Dad, friend or family and ask either of them for a favor, I expect them to do it; whether they do it or not, I still expect them to.  Do I deserve for them to do anything for me because I am simply their child, friend or because we are blood related? No.  They may be unable to do the request for one reason or another but I still “expect” them to do it originally when I ask.  I go into it with the expectation that my needs will be fulfilled.  Now if I can expect that of human beings who have limited resources and time on this planet, why can I not go to God expecting from him in every area of my life?  He has unlimited resources and he is forever eternal.  Do I deserve him to do anything for me? No, but I still go to him with expectancy as God Almighty to do each and every promise he spoke in his word for my life.  I go into my prayer and supplication with expectancy that all of my needs will be fulfilled because he is God and admonished me that I must have faith in him to provide, to heal, to comfort, to supply, to reward, to be good to me all the days of my life.  Unlike people, he is well able to deliver on every request and even when he doesn't, it is still for my good because he has kept me from both things and people that meant me no good and it was a blessing when it was all said and done.  I thank God for my parents, and friends and family who I have been able to reach out to, but never forget from whom all blessings flow – God and besides him is no other.  Give credit where credit is due but give God all the Glory, Honor and Praise; which is your reasonable service.
