Summary
Have you ever had your hopes up and been massively disappointed? And because of that, have been put to shame?
Romans 5:5 says this: And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Hope does not put you to shame. Because our hope is in the Lord.
Let’s talk about expectancy and expectations. Expectations are specific, it’s us having a clear idea of what God is going to do and creating an idea of how it will happen and when it will happen. However, with expectancy, your hands are a little more open, eyes are on the bigger horizon. You have more of an expectancy on how God could potentially move.
Here’s your reminder to check on your expectations. Expectations of other people, yourself, your memories, etc. Are they serving you?
And then check in on your expectancy; are you expectant for how God could move or might move right now?
Are our hopes in his hand moving in some particular way OR are our hopes in his true character.
Even if what we hope will happen doesn't, we get to bring it all to God. Cause when we talk to God about it, we exercise intimacy and there is no shame in entering the throne room with our Father.
Bring ever desire, every fear, every frustration, every delight, bring it all to him, get your hopes up and talk to Him about it.
You will not be put to shame.
We are grateful for you and we’ll see you Thursday!

| 0:53.4 | This will be our last mini MondayMunday episode for a while, |
| 0:56.8 | and I'll tell you more about that in a second. To begin, I would love to read from the message version |
| 1:03.3 | of Romans 5. By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us, set us right with him, make us fit for him, we have it all together with God because of our master Jesus. |
| 1:20.6 | And that's not all. We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. |
| 1:32.2 | We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand out in the wide open spaces |
| 1:38.5 | of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise. There's more to come. We continue to shout our |
| 1:48.3 | praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles because we know how troubles can develop passionate |
| 1:55.1 | patience in us and how that patient in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever |
| 2:05.4 | God will do next. |
| 2:07.9 | In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. |
| 2:13.8 | Quite the contrary, we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously |
| 2:21.6 | pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit. Again, that's from Romans 5. And that last little bit |
| 2:30.0 | is Romans 5.5. Here's the NIV version. And hope does not put us to shame because God's love |
