How did you expect God to act?

Morning: Psalm 119:145-176; Micah 2:1-13; Acts 23:23-35

Evening: Psalms 128, 129, 130; Luke 7:18-35

Here is the familiar human story ... We resist faith because God fails to fulfill our expectations. Jesus asks: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see?” People are disappointed that neither John the Baptist nor Jesus meets their expectations of how God ought to act. Many of us are at odds with God because God does not meet our expectations. We think we know what God should be like, or what God should do. Funny how for all our God-like knowing about how things ought to be, we ourselves still can’t quite get things right.
