Expect The Best But Be Prepared For The Worst : written by Alfred
It is written; if you faint in the day of adversity your strength is weak (Proverbs 24:10).
Days of adversity would come but the question is would you be ready when that day comes. What are you doing right now in preparation for that day? Are you ready? If all hell was to brake lose today; are you ready?
Now don't live your life expecting the worst; that'll be just using your faith to attract the worst to you. Rather expect the best but be prepared for the worst.
In the parable of the wise and foolish virgins (in Matthew 25: 1-13), they all expected the best (that the bridegroom would show up on time) but it was the ones that where prepared for the worst (just in case the bridegroom didn't show up early they got some extra oil) that got the reward.
Always expect the best but always be prepared for the worst. That way, either way; you win.
