MORE – Generosity And Faith In Your Finances

DAY 13 OF 14

Exceeding Expectations

There are many stories in the Bible about Jesus surprising people by how loving, powerful, or gracious He was.

But there was a time when someone took Him by surprise. In Matthew 8, we read about a man who "amazed" Jesus with his faith. Imagine being a person that God was amazed by because of your faith!

What I love about this is that it wasn’t a typical “good church person” who amazed Jesus—it was an unlikely man who you could suspect had differing beliefs at the time. Someone who didn’t fit the “normal Jesus-follower look,” and honestly, most people in town didn’t like him all that much because of his job! He was just a man who put his trust in Jesus.

But what happened after Jesus was amazed is the amazing part for us. A life- changing and life-bringing miracle. And this is what I want you to know from now on: If you give God your attention, He has a habit of exceeding your expectations!

Don’t go to God with no expectation. Don’t just wait; take a step of faith. Because it is faith (action-based belief) that moves God.

For reflection:

  1. What do you think God is capable of doing in your life?
  2. What step of faith will you take that reflects that belief?
  3. Are you waiting for God to move before you do? Why?
