Numbers 32:23. “But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.”
EXPECTATIONS. God is a God who has given great blessings. The land that He promised is for our possessing. Just rise up and follow Him, the land occupying; Claim that which God has given to you.
But remember before you jump to conclusions; There are those who need help to reach their possessions; And you promised to join in their great expectations; So don’t walk away from your vow.
God has led you for years and has fed from His coffers; You and others have enjoyed what His grace always proffers; You have in your hand and your heart what He offers; But what about the rest of the nation?
It is not right for me to have possessed for myself, All that I want and need and leave on the shelf; The expectations of others who now need for themselves; All that is promised to them.
We are not like an island as we walk though this life; There are brothers and sisters who have hopes that the strife They are going through will end, and that there really is light; Down at the end of the tunnel.
I may be enjoying all God wants me to have, And am contented in heart with all that He gave; And the expectations I had, I am possessing each day; But others are still in the struggle.
For me not to help or come alongside Those who are sorrowing over someone who died; Or have lost some great hope or joy that they had; Would for me be a terrible sin.
The mercy God showed me and the grace that He gives; Enables me to share loads where others want to live With possessions of their own God wants them to have; Expectations fulfilled in God’s time.
Lest I sin against the Lord, by me holding back, I want to help provide the hopes and things that they lack; Then together we praise God who placed us on this track; We will rest and will worship together.
“O God of all grace, this morning is the beginning of a day of great expectations. We will worship together; we will praise together; we will hear God’s Word together and our fellowship will be sweet. We will serve together; we will pray together; we will hope for the salvation of others together. We want to walk in the light with Thee. And our expectation at the end of the day is that there will be more glory for Thee, warmth in our souls, and salvation for the lost. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
