The Foundation for Expectation is Desire (1 of 8)
Series: The X Factor
Frank Damazio
Introduction: "The X Factor" is the title of this series dealing with our God-inspired expectations: expectations concerning one's self, one's own future, and one's personal hopes and ambitions. The person who chooses to live life to the full will need to nurture a heart that is filled with God-given expectations. Our expectations are based on the God of hope. Our confidence is not in chance or good fortune but in the true and living God. If you have been disappointed by placing your expectations on a fallible person, as good as that person might be, you may be discouraged and hopeless or angry. I'm calling you forward to lift your heart and eyes and place your expectation in the God of hope. He never leaves your nor forsakes you. He loves you at all times and His word abides forever. He is trustworthy.
