The David Spoon Experience 11-16-22 Part 2

1) I cannot confess enough of my sin that justifies this teaching. A large part of me absolutely expects the best from God simply because He is the best. But another part of me struggles with believing this verse: Proverbs 10:22 states, It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it. Allow me to rephrase. I believe God blesses me, and the other shoe doesn’t just drop on my head because I have been blessed. But I tend to think that another show is coming into play that will give me a kick in the pants. 2) By the way, that level of expectation is sinful because of the lack of quality it inputs to God. First, to have a lack of anticipation for the generosity of God is to assign Him the title of Tightwad. Next, a lack of expectation reduces our functional faith, which diminishes our method of pleasing God. It says we pray for great things, but without saying it to anyone, we really don’t expect great things. That isn’t good. 3) As is the key in virtually every powerful Christian principle, there is something we have to do to get past this childish (or demonic) attitude about God. It is an essential key to receiving from His bountiful hand. It is called…making a decision. And it’s called …standing in that decision.
