diligence and expectation
What springs to mind when you hear the words diligence and expectation? Maybe it creates an image of someone busy at work, busy doing? Or maybe when you think about the word expectation, it brings up feelings of disappointment and let downs.
God wants to lead you into having a steadfast confidence of His love for you. A confidence that doesn't diminish when your circumstances are difficult or when Gods promises for you have seemingly failed to materialise. Reframing our understanding of what dilligently seeking Him looks like, fixing our hope in the one who neither slumbers nor sleeps, so that we are able to hold firm no matter our external or internal pressures.
"That all things work together for the good of those who love God." (Romans 8:28 CSB).
