Polar Opposite of Faith? June 11, 2009

Masterminds WEEK 60 Theme: Opposites. break of dawn

Originally uploaded by .:♥愛Mailee愛♥:.

In talking with a friend recently, I had a thought. Faith and expectations could be exact opposites. I have complete faith that God will take care of me in every situation. With that said, if I have expectations of what His taking care of me might look like, is having those expectations actually the polar opposite of faith? Shouldn’t faith be knowing that God will take care of me, whatever that may mean the result is in each situation. If I have faith, my only expectation should be that God will always be with me and take care of me. I think any other expectation can set me up for dissappointment, which is a sign of lack of faith on my part. I am not saying that all dissappointment is from a lack of faith… just that perhaps it can be sometimes. Let me know your thoughts or questions you might be having when reading this
