It’s not going to happen for me.”
Ever heard that?
Or thoughts like: “I'm not going to get the job. I'm not going to find the right guy or girl. My situation is not going to turn around.”
Let’s begin thinking that it is going to happen for us. Ready?
1. Expect something good to happen to you today.
The Lord has done great things for us! (Psalm 118:24 & Psalm 126:3)
2. Know that God has a good plan for you today!
Jeremiah 29:11 says, “I know the plans I have for you, plans for good, to give you a future and a hope.” (Notice those 2 words: “I know”. This means that God is certain about it. It’s definitely going to happen. Take it to the bank! It’s coming!)
3. Expect doors to open.
Psalm 5:12 says, “Favor surrounds the righteous like a shield.” Favor means: God opens doors that no one can close. Expect doors to open today.
4. Believe in God's fairness.
(Life’s not always fair, but God is! Romans 12:19-21 says He will right every wrong.) Remember, it happened for Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; therefore, it will happen for you. The Bible says, "God is no respecter of persons." (Acts 10:34, Romans 2:11) That doesn't mean He doesn't respect you. It means that He won't show partiality – blessing one person and not another. But you have to believe it and expect it. What He did for Abraham, He has promised He would do for you. Galatians 3:29 says, “For if you belong to Christ, you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs of the promise!”
5. Think "solution thoughts".
No matter what the problem is, no matter what hasn't seemed to happen for you yet, expect a solution. Expect an answer. James 1:6 says, “If any man lacks wisdom, ask of God...who gives to ALL men generously." Notice, He gives to all men, not some. You're one of those who He does give it to. You're not just in line. You're in the front of the line!
6. Think about some good that has happened in your life.
This shows the past faithfulness of God. Since He never changes—expect His faithfulness AGAIN today! (Psalm 23:6)
THINK IT & SAY IT:
Something good is going to happen for me today. Things are going to work out. God has a good plan for my life today. He is certain that it is good, therefore I’m certain as well.
I expect favor today. Favor surrounds me like a shield. Doors are going to open for me that no one can close.
God is going to right every wrong, and show the same help to me as He did for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He gives me wisdom and holds nothing back. I’m in the front of the line.
I remember the good that God has already done, and therefore I expect Him to do it again. Good and right things are going to happen in my life today—goodness and mercy shall FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE!
