Day 32: Expectations of Others
Ephesians 3:20
The Israelites piled stones or made altars to remember the great and mighty works of their God. They would then tell their children, their children’s children, and their community how supernaturally God had worked on their behalf. Do we tell our children about the mighty works of God in our lives, in our family’s lives, in our church, and in our community?
It is important that we encourage and inspire others so they can know that our God wants an intimate relationship with them and can and will do great things they never imagined. We may not see God working, and we may not feel He is working, but amid the struggles and challenges of life, we can trust the heart of God.
It may not work the way we would do it, but He will work it out for our good. We need to help our family, our church family, and our community to see that the God we serve is a God of intimacy that cares for each one of us. We must impart this to others so that they can know and serve the God that is above every other. We must live in an expectation of God’s power.
Reflection Prayer
Jesus, help us to remember Your mighty works, and may we expect these same works in our own lives. May we instill these actions and memories in our family, church family, and community. Help us to reflect on Your goodness and pass such down to the next generation, our family, and our community. You are great and mighty. Amen.
Week 5: Family Now
In week 5, we’ll celebrate the reality that we are all part of the same Body, all part of the family of God.
