Exposing Expectations

by Rick Carter Jr.

We are all impacted by expectations, those we have of ourselves and others and those that others have of us. Few realize the impact of these expectations on our thinking and behavior. As you will see in this book expectations are often the beginning of destructive thoughts that dominate us. Learning to understand expectations and bring them into the obedience of God’s Word is a vital step to gaining victory over your thought life. You don’t have to let your expectations rule your spirit, or be weighed down by the expectations of others if you understand how God says to approach this important issue.

A short little book of only 58 pages, but absolutely worth reading. If you are honest with yourself, it will expose expectations you didn’t know you had or reveal that the ones you have are not biblical. By expectations we are not talking about biblical qualifications for a position, biblical responsibilities, or godly desires for others to have God’s best in their life. What we are talking about is expectations you have imposed on others (or God) because it benefits you i.e. expecting others to work around your timeline or expecting God to meet your demands. It also discusses how blame shifting and self justification often gets in the way of us acknowledging that our actions are sinful.
