A win is a win, right?

Yesterday, both the Denver Bronco’s and Houston Texans won. Good feelings abound for the Texans. Only the second time that they won their season opener. Offense played well, Defense played well. It was a convincing win over a team that is pretty so-so, but a win none the less. Denver wins on an exciting field goal that goes up as time expires. But, I’m left feeling like it was a defeat. Denver’s offense nearly doubled Buffalo’s output. We dominated in almost every category, except the fact that we nearly lost to a team that was inferior to our own. So, I’m questioning our team’s ability to reach the playoffs even more. Isn’t it amazing how our expectations can impact our feelings. We build expectations in every part of life and then develop emotions and reactions related to our expectations, many which are not even realistic. So, how do I deal with expectations of self, family, or even of God? What is it about being a sinful person that influences my expectations? How do I begin to build realistic expectations into my life? I’ll be trying to deal with that as we talk about God’s Sabbath rest in the next few weeks of sermons. A chance to talk about the balance of life between rest and work. Will we be too busy to come and meditate on God’s Word?
