When God doesn’t fulfil your expectations … ?

Morning: Psalms 148, 149, 150; Isaiah 5:1-7; 2 Peter 3:11-18
Evening: Psalms 114, 115; Amos 6:1-14; Luke 7:28-35

People don’t reject God so much as their own ideas, or what other people have told them, about God.  When people say, “I don’t believe in God,” it may mean simply that what they’ve been told doesn’t work for them.  Fair enough – we may all get God wrong.  Lots of people were surprised when Jesus did unexpected things.  They thought he was a warrior king … he wasn’t.  They thought he shouldn’t associate with marginalized people … he did.  Even John the Baptist misunderstood Jesus.  When God doesn’t fulfil your expectations, maybe your ‘god’ is too small? … think bigger.
