The definition of anticipating is to expect or look forward to. I believe everyone is expecting or looking for something to happen or some type of change in their life. For some people it could be a financial blessing, a spouse, a car or a job. For others it could be healing in their body, reuniting with family, or the salvation of a loved one. There are thousands of scenarios where people are at a standstill; waiting and anticipating. Waiting can be heartwrenching, but at the same time it can produce the character of God, which is “The Fruit of the Spirit.” Patience produces longsuffering, longsuffering produces self-restraint, faith produces trust, meekness produces grace, temperance produces self control, joy produces happiness, and goodness produces honesty, gentleness produces compassion, and love expresses the very nature of God.
In this season of anticipation let the character and nature of God overtake you and perfect you.
