A Heart of Expectancy
“Consider that right now while you sit in your cell stunned by the light, your path of life is opening to you. You are not being ripped from a quasi-comfortable sleep in a dark, heavily guarded prison. You are being awakened by God to the next phase of your journey with him. God has caused those weeks, months, or years of hard time in limitations to strengthen you, transform you, and bring you closer to him in friendship. You’ve learned how to walk in gratitude to God. You’ve begun to build up a heart of expectation about what he can do. Now the Lord’s angel has burst into your cell and your faith is awake – not momentarily awake, but awake for real. This is the time to turn up the volume on your expectations! Keep those eyes and ears open. Keep that third Next Level heart attitude, a heart of expectancy toward God, alive. God is about to start giving instructions, and he needs your undivided attention” (p. 114).

Some ways I can cultivate the third Next Level attitude – a heart of expectancy toward God is to meditate on Him, His works, His world, and His Word. I think meditating on these good things will always give you a fresh perspective of God and His Glory. I think sometimes in life we can get so caught up looking at our own issues or the issues of others that we forget how great and powerful God is. Once the reality of God’s grandeur becomes a perpetual reality to me, I can not help but have a heart of expectancy toward God!
