Greater Than Good

My cousin's "status message" on her instant messenger says: "Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God." I just want to talk about the first part of that. Expect great things from God. A lot of times, not even really thinking about it, we limit God. This request is too small to bother Him with. That one is too big to even think about asking for. Have you ever thought about the fact that, no matter what we want, it involves a person or thing or event in this world...and that God created ALL of that? Anything you could possibly ask for is something that is in His control. And, as His chosenly adopted (yes, I just created that term--hope you like it,) you have a right to ask Him for it...and to expect Him to do exactly what is, not just good for you, but GREAT for you...BEST for you! Don't expect the minimum from God--He's not a small-time deity.
