We want to join God in what He is doing in the world and not expect Him to join us in our plans. To participate in His work we must have an awareness of Him and expectations based upon His Words.

 

1. God is at work in the world.

2. Awareness of God’s presence

3. Expectation based upon His Words

Acts 1:4-5; Luke 24:49

Expectations based upon God’s Word

Hebrews 10:36; Psalm 27:14; 62:5-6 Waiting is not passive.

Acts 2:1-4, 37

As they were doing God-centered things

Acts 3:1-12

They were looking to see where God was working, aware of His

presence, and expecting results based upon His words.

John 14:12-14; 15:26-

27

Acts 4:1-13, 18-21

Matthew 10:19-20

Expectations based upon God’s Word

Acts 5:16-42; Luke 6:22-23

Dangerously placed expectations:

 What people promise

 Wrong doctrine, Romans 8:18

 Self nonbiblical desires

Expectations that do not become a reality then diminish confidence and faith.

Acts 10:1-20

God is at work in the world. Join Him in what He is doing, not the

opposite.

Build the habit of acknowledging the presences of God.

God will enable you to do His work.

Philippians 2:13

Hebrews 13:5-6, 20-21

Romans 8:31

Psalm 118:6
