Day 11- Attitude Of Expectation
Always be joyful because you belong to the Lord. I will say it again. Be joyful. Let everyone know how gentle you are. The Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything. Instead, tell God about everything. Ask and pray. Give thanks to him. Then God’s peace will watch over your hearts and your minds because you belong to Christ Jesus. God’s peace can never be completely understood.
- Philippians 4:4-8
It has been said that, “our attitude controls our altitude.” When I was a teenager our church did not have many young people. One day I complained to my Daddy about it and he told me to pray that the Lord would send some young people to our church. Well, I did pray and I believed that this would happen. I would go to church and expect my prayer to be answered. Every week there was an excitement in my heart because I just knew that someone new would be there my age. We began to have young people come and the excitement grew. We ended up with a pretty large youth group!
If we have an attitude of expecting something to happen in our church services or small groups God will not let us down. With the attitude of expecting comes excitement, this excitement will rub off on others! We will be so anxious to get to church and see what God is going to do each Sunday and He will not disappoint us.
