Unmet Expectations or God's Plan?

from VERSED Hosted by John Lawhon

There are constant thieves at your door every single day and night and they’re called unmet expectations - always ready to steal your happiness and contentment. All of us fill our lives with expectations, some good and some bad — what job we should get, what kind of spouse we’ll be married to, how that spouse will treat us, who our children will become. Our minds constantly fill in the blank slates of tomorrow with all sorts of expectations of what will happen to us. This is not wrong in itself — in fact, it’s necessary to an extent to even make tentative plans for our lives. However, we need to recognize that our expectations do not map identically to God’s plan. And His plan to save us, to send his son Jesus for us, to meet us in our disappointments among other things was something no one expected. Revelation 5 helps us by putting the sacrifice of Jesus in eternal and heavenly perspective. // Everything you need is here Included in that link is a list of resources and references I use in this podcast and can help you grow deeper in your faith as well.

Verse-By-Verse Ministry With Heather Darnall Heather Darnall This podcast is a way for people to dive deep into the Christian Bible with me as I read scripture verse-by-verse from various books/sections and break them down for a better understanding of the context, but moreover, to have a better relationship with Jesus. Additionally, I believe this podcast is a good starting point for anyone new to the Holy Bible, but is still good for anyone who is already well-versed. That being said, please take note that I'm not a scholar. I didn't grow up in the church, I didn't go to seminary school nor do I have any sort of qualifications that would highlight myself as some kind of guru. I'm simply a seeker for the truth of God in which is what I want to share with anyone whose heart is open to hear and receive it. But the main reason I started this podcast begins with a mini testimony: I grew up very worldly having no knowledge of Jesus, just His name and all the popular stories or miracles during His life - maybe one or two apostles nam RambamReflections: Daily Wisdom for Life Daniel Aharonoff Welcome to RambamReflections: Daily Wisdom for Life, your go-to podcast for navigating the complexities of the modern world through the lens of Rambam's teachings.
