Today's Sunday School class led to a discussion about expectations. The question came up..."What does God expect of us?"...Several answers came up including...
1) Love God/Love People
2) To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Then one quiet lady in the class said..."God expects us to be human."
The more I've thought about this the more I agree with her. If you look up the word "expect" one definition you will find is "regard as likely to happen". Likely? There is absolutely no security in "likely". God is always sure. God knows everything. If He was expecting something then there would be a chance that He did not know what was going to happen. Which brings us back to that last answer.
As God expects us to be human He provides the sureness and security that only He can give. We have know idea how we will respond to different stimuli tomorrow but God does. So in saying all of this would it be fair to say that God truly expects "nothing" of us because He already knows?
