What Are You Expecting?

Positive expectations are important for success. For we tend to get what we expect. ~ Game Day Quotes ~

I find it interesting to watch how teams play when something is on the line. Boy, even though some may think they aren't up to the challenge, they do win, because they are positive they will.

I saw that years ago when the Dover/New Philadelphia game was dedicated to our son Todd. That year some people were not expecting the Dover team to win; but win they did! There was a drive within the players to win that overcame.

Do we always win because we want to? No, we don't. But how much better to live our lives having positive expectations. More often than not we do get what we expect.

Our Bible verse today says the Lord longs to be good to us and to show loving kindness to us. We are blessed when we wait (expect) Him to do so. (see Isaiah 30:18 AMPC)

What are we expecting? When we look for and expect the good things the Lord longs to give us we'll live a happier life. Remember, positive expectations are important for success. For we tend to get what we expect.
