We have so many expectations in life, but do any of
them pertain to our relationship with God? Christian Author Joyce Glass shares
a devotion today on that topic. Welcome, Joyce!
Come Expecting
Do you get excited going to see a new movie? Why? What are you expecting? I love to go see new movies, and love when they are really good!
As Moses was leading the Israelites through the wilderness, he was in constant communication with God. He is one of the few people in the Bible to meet with God face to glory. Moses was not allowed to see His face, but He experienced His glory and heard His voice.
Take Two
In Exodus 34 Moses is returning to Mount Sinai for God to write out the Ten Commandments again. Remember Moses broke them when he came down the first time, because the people had created an idol to worship while he was gone. In his anger he threw down the original tablets of stone.
“So Moses chiseled out two tablets of stone like the first ones. Early in the morning he climbed Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him, and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.” ~ Exodus 34:4 NLT ~

Moses came expecting. He brought the tablets as the Lord had commanded him. He came early in the morning. We can learn so much from this little verse.
God desires us to come expecting to hear from Him, to listen to His word and obey Him. When you spend time with Him, and seek him daily through His word and in time of prayer He will reveal His plans for you. He will comfort and guide your steps each day. Be prepared with an open heart and mind.
Be Prepared
Come expecting, because God has so much to share with us each day! Moses came prepared to hear from God. God did not just hand him the stones with the commandments.
Do you want to know what is on God’s heart for you and your family? Come expecting!

I meet with God every morning complete with tablet in hand... of course, my tablet has seen a few upgrades since Moses day! It's portable, and even if I broke it the data inside would have been safely stored in the Cloud.... So, same thing... just lots and lots of upgrades.... hehe I often use your devotional book iNeed God when I do that!
