Expecting the Best

Expecting the Best

As each day unfolds, we are literally surrounded by more opportunities than we can count – opportunities to improve our own lives and the lives of those we love. Each of us possesses the ability to experience earthly peace and spiritual abundance, but sometimes peace and abundance seem to be little more than distant promises.

Do you expect the coming day to be a fountain of opportunities? Are you expecting the worst and bracing yourself against it?

As we face the challenges that are part of life here on earth, we must not become discouraged. We must, instead, arm ourselves with the promises of God. When we do, we can expect the very best that life – and God – has to offer.

“Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word.” (Hebrews 10:23)

(From “Hugs: Daily Inspirations for Women”)
