Expecting Something Different

This past week I have been reading from Luke.  In our student ministry we are starting a new series "Pain Killers" and I wanted to read from the book that a Physician wrote.  In the first 7 chapters I read Jesus performed so many miracles that were amazing.  One miracle was one He didn't even have to be there in person to heal the guy.  He simple had to speak from a ways off.  It was the "The Faith of the Centurion" in chapter 7.  This guy knew Jesus could heal one of his sick slaves, believed it and saw it come to be.   How much do we believe Jesus to perform a miracle with the different things in our lives?  I know for me I know Jesus is capable but do I believe sometimes.  Here is the deal.  So many times I have the head knowledge but lack the faith.  The other day as I thought about all the things going on in life, my wife's job, the adoption of a baby, ministry, friends lives, family member's salvation,  you name I was thinking about it.  It dawned on me that I haven't expected a miracle, it's like saying I didn't expect God to move in these events in my life.   I kept putting Him in a box, one that I created that He cannot possibly fit in.  I need to stop this.  I need to allow God to be God and expect Him to move in miraculous ways no matter what they may be.  So that's what I am expecting, something different, rather then the worry that can get me down I am expecting God to move and I will keep doing the things that bring Him glory while expecting Him to move in a way that is miraculous.  The reality is it's the only way God moves we just miss it sometimes because we don't have our eyes open.  Lord open my eyes to see the world and it's events the way you see them.
