---TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS/ WHAT IS CHRIST DOING IN YOUR LIFE TODAY? / HE IS ALWAYS AT WORK WITHIN BELIEVERS!

---"Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: “The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!” "
--[Psalm 118:15 / NIV) --

~~~Christianity is often presented as being pretty front heavy, with all the important God-choices happening near the beginning of the journey. We experience salvation, we make a profession of faith, we are baptized, and then we sit and wait for Heaven. We can’t lose our salvation, so what is left to pull us forward? This is a sad way of understanding our faith, because the most important season of our walk with Christ is right now. I will enjoy hearing about your profession of faith when you were twelve, but I really get excited when I hear about a victory God gave you this week. I will rejoice over the way He delivered you from a painful past, but I also am curious about what mighty things you are expecting Him to do today. Don’t ever allow your faith journey to become past tense: what Jesus did for you way back when. You want your walk with Jesus to be so current that you can talk about it in the present tense: what Jesus is doing in you and through you today, TODAY!

And be sure to ask others what the Lord is doing in their lives. We need each other, friends. If you haven't yet, please begin reading through the Bible. There are many outlines on Bible Ministry forums to follow. Perhaps just start in the Gospels [Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.] Did you know there are 31 [chapters]= Proverbs. Begin reading one Chapter each day throughout each month. You can begin reading from the 'day you are on' and go to the end, then repeat it each month. "The Word of God is alive and powerful sharper than any two-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints, and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."-(HEBREWS 4:12).

**THINK ABOUT IT**
Christ-followers are “citizens of Heaven,” living on earth for God’s purposes. If you do not have a habit of asking Him to work in and through you each day, begin to ask Him today. Your God-stories will multiply! Have another believer read through the Bible with you. You can grow together for the Lord's glory. Press Onward. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart. And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." --[Proverbs 3 verses 5,6] ~

**PRAYER**
---"Heavenly Father, I willingly accept Your assignments and want to continually experience Your transforming power at work in my life and in the lives of others. Enable me to be a faithful ambassador of Your grace and truth today. Use me Lord, for Your glory! In Jesus’ name, amen.
