Lack of Expectation

Martyn Lloyd-Jones provided us with a keen insight about a significant problem: we often have no expectation that God will act as we worship, praise, and serve Him.

"This is Christianity: the Lord appears! Suddenly, in the midst of the drudgery and the routine and the sameness and the dullness and the drabness, unexpectedly, surprisingly, he meets with you and he says something to you that changes the whole of your life and your outlook and lifts you to a level that you had never conceived could be possible for you."

Let us be expectant husbands and fathers, always receptive to our Lord speaking and acting. Let us keep our eyes and hearts open, and our minds attuned that God is always at work (John 5:17)
