Gracious Expectation
"He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!". (Revelation 22:20 NKJV) Empty expectation in life can easily be accepted as a sign of idleness. Whereas idle minds are not necessarily unoccupied. They are actually prepared as satan's workshop, bearing negative expectations. Besides, active minds are equally occupied with the needs on earth; while necessary preparation for the end of earth is ignored. But while the statement of the Lord through current events in all the nations of world " Surely I am coming quickly " cannot be mistaken, the expectations of many are obviously mistaken by their attachments to personal agenda. Therefore, the grace to daily expect the coming of the Lord cannot be obtained outside a daily devotion with the Lord.
