Luke 10:38-42
“Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.’”
Beloved,
If you want more out of life, you must also carry the attitude of a winner, the attitude of a learner and an attitude of expectation.
Consider Joshua and Caleb. They were able to push the Israelites to do what they truly felt was impossible- to literally fight giants! The Israelites had many reasons to decide losing was an option and give up. But Joshua and Caleb decided that a better outcome was possible because they took their time to learn from Moses. With Moses, they learned that with God, all things are possible. They had taken their time to learn that in every circumstance, God kept them and caused them to triumph.
Many people are afraid to fight to get more out of life. They expect to lose or waste their time. They keep their expectations low so as not to be disappointed. When it comes to getting everything God has for you, you must learn that all things work together for the good of those who love God (Philippians 4:19). In God, there is no failure. His banner over you is love! You must believe you are a winner. It is only the person with the attitude of a winner who can expect greater things in life. I’m sure you have never watched a game of soccer or football and see your favorite team came on to the field looking defeated or knowing the record of the opposing team and just deciding not to play at all, no! Have it in your mind that you are a winner!
If I am to use the same analogy, the members of that sports team have a chance at winning because they took their time to learn about themselves as players. They know their strengths and areas that need growth or weaknesses, they learned how to play to their team members strengths. They learned the plan for play from their coach. They learned from previous games- both the ones they won and the ones they lost. They learned about the opposing team. You must develop an attitude that allows you to do the same. You must decide to learn from every situation in life.
Finally you must develop an attitude of expectation. You have the promises of God working for you. You must expect great things. How can you be ready to receive what you have not mentally and spiritually prepared yourself to expect?
I commend you to God and the word of His grace.
I call you NATIONS. I call you blessed.
