Expect Good Things

I totally get not wanting to get overly excited about something that could be good, and I totally get keeping expectations low about things in general. I’ve excelled at this in life.

But lately, I’m seeing real value in being positive (as in, sure) about an outcome and even saying it out loud at times, expecting in faith it will happen if it is supposed to happen. Of course, speaking something into existence is God’s lane. Being confident when we pray for something is ours, though.

So here’s to believing for good things and expecting them to happen. I’d rather be hopeful and then disappointed, but yet know it truly wasn’t meant to be, instead of play it safe and never truly have hope for anything good, just to avoid a possible letdown.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Have a great day.

Putting Fear in its Place

Isn’t it funny how much fear holds us back in life?

Alright, it isn’t funny at all, but you know what I mean. It really is a long list, when you think of the things that don’t happen or materialize in our lives, simply because of fear.

Guilty as charged, here. I mean, something could go wrong, you know? I know you know, because we all feel fear in some form at some point in our lives – whether it is the day-to-day stuff or the bigger things.

Kind of annoying, isn’t it? Yeah. Well, how about this: Don’t be afraid to try things. Don’t let fear stop you.

Easier said than done? Of course. Doable? You bet!

If there is something that could have a positive outcome all around, and you feel led to do it, and it lines up with your faith or values (don’t forget that last one) then what’s stopping you from pursuing it, or at least seriously considering it?

If your answer is fear, well, I encourage you today to put fear in its place. That place where it needs to go is far below where we tend to put it, which is front and center of our minds.

God is greater than your fear…and that really is some good news, right there. So, pray about it. Pray for victory over it. Then, maybe it’s time to start moving forward on that dream or goal or whatever it is that is waiting for you on the other side of fear.

I hope it’s everything you hope it can be, and more.

Have a great day.
