Embrace God's Exceeding Expectations

Have you ever wondered what if I could exceed my own expectations? Allow me to introduce you to a concept that just might change your life, the art of arising and shining. Imagine waking up each day with a renewed sense of purpose, stepping into your potential with an unwavering confidence that you are on a path to greatness.

This is what it means to arise and shine. You see, there's an incredible force at work in your life, one that has grand plans for you, plans that may exceed even your wildest dreams. This force is none other than God and he has a storehouse filled with amazing things just for you. He's not just interested in meeting your expectations, he's in the business of surpassing them.

He's ready to take you to places you've never even dared to dream about and do things in your life that you've never imagined. Now you might be wondering, how is this possible? It's all because his glory is rising upon his people. This means that things are starting to align in your favor. The pieces are falling into place, creating a path for you to accomplish that which he has placed in your heart. But here's the catch. This journey isn't always going to be easy. There will be mornings when you'll need to muster the strength to rise, days when you'll need to shine, even when all you want to do is hide.

There may be moments when your mind will try to talk you out of it, times when discouragement will try to hold you back. But remember, you are stronger than you think. You have the power to rise above your circumstances, to shine brighter than your challenges. So when you wake up tomorrow and the day after that, and every day henceforth rise and shine, embrace the day with the knowledge that it's a day that the Lord has made and choose to rejoice in it.

Expect his goodness, for he has amazing things in store for you. Remember, even the hidden dreams that you've given up on, God has not given up on, your mind may try to talk you out of it. But if you listen with your heart, this truth will resonate within you. It's all too easy to let discouragement seep into our lives, to let it sit heavy on our hearts. But remember this, you hold the power to rise above it. The key lies in choosing not to let it hold you back or keep you down. The power of choice is a remarkable thing.

It's not just about deciding what to eat for breakfast or which route to take to work. It's about choosing your perspective, your mindset. It's about choosing to rejoice in him and expecting his goodness. Every day presents a new opportunity to choose joy, to choose faith, to choose resilience.

So let's make the most of it. Every morning rise up and declare, today is the day that the Lord has made. Let that be your daily mantra, your reminder to embrace the power of choice. Choosing to arise and shine is choosing to receive every spiritual blessing he has in store for you. This is the key to unlocking a life beyond your wildest dreams, an existence filled with blessings that overflow and pour into every aspect of your life.
