Evening: Psalms 110, 116, 117; Matthew 11:7-15
Your expectations shape your beliefs – If you think God should be like this and isn’t, or that God should act that way and doesn’t, you may think you don’t believe in God, whereas you just don’t believe in the ‘god’ your own mind created!! In Jesus’ day, many expected the ‘Messiah’ would be a warrior, who would impose God’s will by the violent overthrow of the dominant Roman imperial power. So, they rejected Jesus. My expectations condition my responses to life’s events. When I think events should happen differently than they do, maybe it’s my expectations that need to change?
