A few days ago, in a post entitled “We Know What We Want”, we considered the fact that unspoken and unreasonable expectations in
our relationships can result in problems of volcanic
proportions. These expectations work
horizontally, between people.
The next post, “HE Knows What We Want…and Need” also had something to say about
expectations. In that post, we see that God promises provision.
Because God promised it, we can expect that He will indeed provide. However, it is also important to look at the
conditions in which those promises apply.
These expectations are vertical, and run both ways.
What does God expect from
us? Does he leave us with a host of
unspoken expectations? Are His
expectations unreasonable, as ours often are?
