where is our expectation?

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    Our Golden text this week says “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.” So, in response to where our expectation is, the healthy answer would be “I expect God will show His way, I expect to have sufficient perception to recognize it, and I expect to follow it gladly with my whole heart.” The pure in heart we talked about last week was very helpful to release whatever would misguide the expectations. Many worthy endeavors have been pulled down by a negative expectation or a willfully driven expectation. How much better things would be if the sentiments would wait only upon God.

    Yes, I have found out (mostly by the hard way!), why it is so important before we approach any venture to have our expectation from the Lord. In other words, when speaking to someone – expect that he will be receptive to the truth being spoken, when working on a project for God – expect you will have everything you need to accomplish the task and that it will accomplish its purpose, When traveling – expect the way to be made clear for you and for all to be in the hands of God. Be mindful of any negative thoughts that would try to argue defeat or discouragement, kick those suggestions out and let your expectation be from the Lord! It will have a tremendous effect on all you say and do!
