Expectations For Your Day
What are your expectations for the day when you wake up? Are you expecting the day to be filled with joy? Are you expecting to be disappointed? Are you looking for something to go wrong?
What are you looking for? Each day has prospects of greatness!
Proverbs 10:28 (NLT)
28 The hopes of the godly result in happiness,
but the expectations of the wicked come to nothing.
Our prospects for each day are unlimited! We are draped in a robe of righteousness! Let's begin our day eager and excited for what God has in store.
Isaiah 61:10 (NLT)
10 I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God!
For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation
and draped me in a robe of righteousness.
I am like a bridegroom dressed for his wedding
or a bride with her jewels.
Often we miss some of the wonderful things God has prepared for us. We are too focused on the problems and troubles that plague us. Then we start living too cautiously, expecting something terrible around the corner.
Instead of living life to the fullest, we become more consumed with minimizing our pain or risk of being disappointed or hurt. There is always risk in life... Instead of shrinking from life, I choose to jump into it. Sure, there is a risk that your day could be difficult, but what if you're wrong? Your day could be FULL of joy and unexpected blessings! How much are we missing out on?
The enemy wants to destroy any sort of walk you have with Jesus. Don't let him. God has MUCH more instore for you!!
John 10:10 (NLT)
10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
I encourage you to wake up tomorrow eager with hopeful anticipation of what God has for you. Ask Him to join you in each day, seek His face and read His Word. Ask Him to help you with the difficulties of the day, but also ask Him to show you the beautiful blessings He's planted along the path of your day.
Romans 15:13 (NIV)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Share the day with Jesus, and may the expectations of your day be better than you ever dreamed!
Blessings,
Lori
