What do you expect?

In medicine, there is something called the “placebo effect.” Studies have proven that a placebo (or sugar pill) can be just as effective as an actual drug. Regardless of the disease or problem, when patients expect that a drug is going to help them get better, they usually show some improvement. The placebo effect holds true across just about every illness category imaginable. And it goes to show you the power of great expectations.

As believers in Christ, there should be no limit to our expectations. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus himself says, “…I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

If a sugar pill can relieve severe pain, how much more can even a small amount of faith in God meet our needs? My brothers and sisters in Christ, let’s put our faith into action and remember that with God, nothing is impossible.

I’m expecting great things!
