Have you ever been so excited about something that you
couldn’t sleep? Anticipation is defined
by Merriam-Webster as a feeling of excitement about something that is going to
happen; the act of preparing for something.
Today we are going to focus on the excitement and preparation.
We have learned this week of the importance in raising our
expectations when it comes to what God will do in our lives, and that He always
reveals his plan to us. As we move from
expectation to anticipation, we will begin to take action in cooperation with
the plans God has for our lives.
We should follow the example of Noah. God asked him to build an ark because he was
going to send rain to the earth. Up
until this time, the earth had never seen rain.
It would have been very easy for Noah to disregard God’s request. It was one hundred years from the time God
asked Noah to build the ark until the flood came. During that time, Noah did not sit idle and
wait for the rain. Instead, he was busy
preparing what God had asked. God
provided every detail of the ark Noah was to build. God told him to bring two of every creature
onto the ark. During that one hundred
years, Noah’s anticipation of what God promised was coming led him to take
action in accordance with God’s plan.
Has God given you a word for your life? Are you expecting it to happen, or are you
excited with anticipation as you prepare for this great work he has prepared
for you? It is ok if you are a bit
overwhelmed, ask God to provide the details of the next step for you. He will deliver!
