Expecting Good Things From God!

Devotions:
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 KJV
In the realm where God is the supreme ruler it is so wonderfully good that we cannot imagine how good it is. This is God's desire for every human being on the earth, to walk and live in this realm. We usually the think that this only relates to heaven which it does but God also desires for us to walk in as much of it down here on the earth. There will be tough times on the earth because Satan, the enemy, is still lord here, as Adam turned it over to him. That is why we have the havoc on the earth of sickness, disease, wars, famin, catastrophes and even death itself. These are all Satan's doings, not God's.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
James 1:17 KJV
God only has good gifts for us and for all of mankind but mankind must choose to believe and choose God and His goodness. Only then will mankind escape the enemies grasp and cruelty. As we believe God's word and stand on it we will see the goodness of God in the land of the living. "If we being evil know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more shall not the Father give good things to those who ask?" Matthew 7:11
What are you expecting from God? Good or evil? Our usual expectation is evil because we know that we have sinned against God. God has wiped out our sin on the cross of Jesus. So we stand in the place of blessing from God and the enemy is trying to steal that blessing by putting us in unbelief about God's goodness towards us. What proof do we have? God sent Jesus to take our place, to take our judgement that we might receive His blessing and walk in the realm where God rules not Satan. Revel in the love of God for you and expect great things from God!
