Speaker 1: This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry
Speaker 1: of Pastor Rick Warren. Today we continue in our series
Speaker 1: called fifty Days of Faith. In these lessons, Rick looks
Speaker 1: into God's word to discover the true meaning of faith
Speaker 1: and explore ways we can strengthen it. But first, if
Speaker 1: you'd like to discover the custom made dream God has
Speaker 1: just for you, stay tuned because in just a few
Speaker 1: moments we're going to tell you about the video base
Speaker 1: created to dream Bible study. You can take a sneak
Speaker 1: peek right now by going to Pastorick dot com while
Speaker 1: you listen to today's message, or you can just text the
Speaker 1: word hope to eight hundred six hundred five thousand and four.
Speaker 1: That's the word hope to eight hundred six hundred five
Speaker 1: thousand and four. Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with
Speaker 1: the final part of a message called Expecting the Best.
Speaker 2: If you're having to wake up with an alarm clock,
Speaker 2: you know what that's saying. Your body is not getting
Speaker 2: enough sleep. You're having to forcefully wake yourself up because
Speaker 2: you're not getting the sleep that you need, and it's
Speaker 2: hard to be optimistic during a sleep deficit. Now, it's
Speaker 2: no wonder you're negative because you're waking up to an
Speaker 2: alarm clock which alarms you in the morning. You know,
Speaker 2: it's like you're not waking up till it's a great,
Speaker 2: wonderful day. No I'm alarmed. Well, no wonder you feel bad.
Speaker 2: You're waking up in the state of shock every day. Okay,
Speaker 2: So I mean that's just kind of a no brainer. Okay.
Speaker 2: Suggestion number two, don't turn on the morning news. And
Speaker 2: you know what the local news is. All it's about
Speaker 2: is crime. And so they say, well, you know, last
Speaker 2: night while you were sleeping, there are three more murders,
Speaker 2: two more rapes in a house burned down. Oh that
Speaker 2: made my day. I feel happy. Local news has a
Speaker 2: thing that the gory or it is, the more they
Speaker 2: push it to the front, you know, item if they say,
Speaker 2: if it bleeds, it leads, that's the idea. And you
Speaker 2: don't really need to know all that, because you know,
Speaker 2: you get up and you turn on and you hear
Speaker 2: all this local news and it's bad news all around you.
Speaker 2: And then you sit down to the newspapers. If you
Speaker 2: hadn't had enough problems of your own, now you have
Speaker 2: to read about the problems in Yugoslavia. Well, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: and then you get in your car and as you're
Speaker 2: driving to work, you turn on you know, the talk radio,
Speaker 2: and you hear more problems. It's no wonder you're cranking.
Speaker 2: You need to start the day with good news, not
Speaker 2: bad news. So don't turn all that stuff on. Don't
Speaker 2: listen to all the problems of the world as you're
Speaker 2: starting out in your morning and your mind is just
Speaker 2: forming your mood for the day. Suggestion number three, start
Speaker 2: your day with worship. Tune in to God before you
Speaker 2: talk to anybody else. Talk to God first. Listen to
Speaker 2: good positive music. Can sit down and read a little
Speaker 2: bit of God's word, read some promises of God. Talk
Speaker 2: to God, and let God talk to you. Five minutes,
Speaker 2: ten minutes, fifteen, twenty minutes, just starting your day. Study
Speaker 2: after study after study is shown that your mood for
Speaker 2: each day is determined by the first ten minutes of
Speaker 2: that day. Now you can be a little bit more
Speaker 2: intentional about expecting the best, having a better attitude if
Speaker 2: you'll start your day intentionally with worship. Doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be long. Just focus in on God and verbally a
Speaker 2: firm This is the day that the Lord has made
Speaker 2: I will rejoice and be glad. It's a choice. Did
Speaker 2: you know that optimism releases endorphins in your brain? You
Speaker 2: will actually feel better. You'll feel better if you start
Speaker 2: the day by tuning into God.
Speaker 3: You want to expect the best. Number two, think on
Speaker 3: God's promises throughout the day. You start the day by
Speaker 3: tuning into him, and then you think about his promises
Speaker 3: throughout the day. This is David's second secret of optimism.
Speaker 3: The Bible tells us that he practiced this even in
Speaker 3: the most difficult of times. Palone nineteen, verse ninety five.
Speaker 3: David says, though the wicked hide along the way to
Speaker 3: kill me, I will quietly keep my mind upon your promises.
Speaker 3: Now get this. He was facing the constant threat of assassination,
Speaker 3: and he says, I need these promises throughout the day
Speaker 3: to help me to face these threats in my life,
Speaker 3: this anxiety that could inevitably overwhelm my day. The Bible
Speaker 3: tells us, in fact, would you read with me some
Speaker 3: one nineteen eleven, what David's habit was. David said, I've
Speaker 3: banked your promises in the vault of my heart. How
Speaker 3: are you going to do this? Think about God's promises
Speaker 3: throughout the day. The only way to do it is
Speaker 3: to memorize them, to bank them in your heart, to
Speaker 3: put them where you can call upon them. And nothing, nothing,
Speaker 3: will improve your attitude more than have those thoughts from
Speaker 3: God that you can rely on during the day. When
Speaker 3: you get in the tough spots, you can't whip out
Speaker 3: a Bible and look up verse you don't have time.
Speaker 3: Those are the moments when you need to be able
Speaker 3: to draw on what's in your heart. Did you know
Speaker 3: there are over seven thousand promises in this Bible written
Speaker 3: for you and I to give us confidence and assurance
Speaker 3: throughout the day that we can make it through. The
Speaker 3: Bible tells us in Philippians chapter four, verse eight, how
Speaker 3: to think when it says you'll do best by filling
Speaker 3: your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious,
Speaker 3: the best, not the worst, the beautiful not the ugly. Now,
Speaker 3: let me ask you, does that sound like the fall
Speaker 3: lineup on TV? When I read that? Really, when you
Speaker 3: think about the things that we fill our minds with,
Speaker 3: you get tired, You get anxious, and you think, maybe
Speaker 3: I'll entertain my way into feeling better, and you feel
Speaker 3: more tired, and you feel more anxious. Let me suggest this,
Speaker 3: listen to something different. If you're going to change your heart,
Speaker 3: if you're going to change that anxiety, if you're going
Speaker 3: to feel less threatened in life, feel more hope. We're
Speaker 3: expecting the best. Start to listen to something different. Listen
Speaker 3: to God's promises because they have the power to bring
Speaker 3: faith and optimism into our lives. The Bible tells us
Speaker 3: in Hebrews, chapter ten, verse twenty three, let's keep a
Speaker 3: firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He
Speaker 3: always keeps his word. Now, well, let me talk about
Speaker 3: a practical way to do this, because I know some
Speaker 3: of you are thinking, Tom, I haven't memorized anything since
Speaker 3: like third grade. I'm not getting in on this part
Speaker 3: of it, all right. You know those aerobic shows you
Speaker 3: see on TV where they have the different steps, you know,
Speaker 3: the different, you know, the easy and then the medium
Speaker 3: and then the difficult. We're going to do that with this,
Speaker 3: all right, some of you just you just need to
Speaker 3: start with the easy part. Without faith, no one can
Speaker 3: please God.
Speaker 2: Just start there.
Speaker 3: Just memorize that part this week. Now you're thinking, is
Speaker 3: that Okay, can you memorize like part of a Bible verse,
Speaker 3: like God's going to get mad at you if you
Speaker 3: do that. If you memorize just the word faith this week,
Speaker 3: it would help, wouldn't that Just that one word, just
Speaker 3: a little bit, can make a big difference. God's not
Speaker 3: going to get mad at that, is going to be
Speaker 3: pleased with that. If you've memorized a lot, then memorized
Speaker 3: the whole verse this week. But whatever way you do it,
Speaker 3: start to bank some of these things in your heart
Speaker 3: where they can make a difference. I can't tell you
Speaker 3: the times that of the few verses I've memorized that
Speaker 3: God will bring one to mind that reminds me not
Speaker 3: to say something stupid in that situation, or to be
Speaker 3: patient with one of my kids when I wouldn't have otherwise,
Speaker 3: or to have hope when I wouldn't have had hope,
Speaker 3: or it gives me the strength to make a good
Speaker 3: decision when I want to make a bad decision. It's
Speaker 3: amazing how when you put some of these promises into
Speaker 3: your life, they give you a faith to face the day.
Speaker 2: The third secret of expecting the best is to trust
Speaker 2: in God's love even when things look bad. Trust in
Speaker 2: God's love even when the thing, the situation, the circumstance
Speaker 2: looks bad or bleak or depressing. Now, this is David's
Speaker 2: third secret of optimism. It's where he found his confidence.
Speaker 2: The Bible tells us in Psalm forty two, David said, Oh,
Speaker 2: my soul, don't be discouraged, don't be upset. Expect God
Speaker 2: to act, for I know. Here's the confidence that I
Speaker 2: shall again have plenty of reason to praise Him for
Speaker 2: all that he will do. Notice it's in the future.
Speaker 2: All that he will do he's going to do. He
Speaker 2: hadn't done it yet. This is a statement of positive expectation.
Speaker 2: He said, I'm not gonna get discouraged. It looks bleak,
Speaker 2: it looks bad, circumstances look dark. But I'm not going
Speaker 2: to get down on it because I'm going to expect
Speaker 2: God to act. I know that once again. In other words,
Speaker 2: he's done it in the past. I know it once again.
Speaker 2: He'll help me out. Some of you are going through
Speaker 2: some pretty dark times right now. What do you do?
Speaker 2: Number one? You remember how God has helped you in
Speaker 2: the past. Oh, how quickly we forget Remember that God
Speaker 2: has helped you many many times out of many, many situations,
Speaker 2: many you weren't even aware that He was the one
Speaker 2: that was doing it. Remember that God has helped you
Speaker 2: in the past even when you were unaware. And then two,
Speaker 2: you expect him to do it again. That's expecting the best.
Speaker 2: You're trusting in God's love when things look bad. Now listen,
Speaker 2: We rarely understand why God allows things in our lives
Speaker 2: when they happen. Almost never does God give you an
Speaker 2: explanation of why there's pain in your life, problems in
Speaker 2: your life, difficulties in your life, circumstances you don't understand.
Speaker 2: Almost never does God give you an explanation. He didn't
Speaker 2: know you an explanation in the first place. But number two,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't understand some of the reasons until you get
Speaker 2: to have it and look back and go, oh, that's
Speaker 2: what was going on.

Speaker 4: Before you took your very first breath. He had already
Speaker 4: placed the gift of imagination into your brain and hardwired
Speaker 4: creativity into every cell of your body. But discovering and
Speaker 4: fulfilling your God given dream will require a journey of
Speaker 4: faith on your part. That's why Pastor Rick just released

Speaker 1: Now let's get back to today's lesson. Here on Pastor
Speaker 1: Rick's Daily Hope.
Speaker 2: Remember that God has helped you many, many times out
Speaker 2: of many many situations. Many you weren't even aware that
Speaker 2: He was the one that was doing it. Remember that
Speaker 2: God has helped you in the past even when you
Speaker 2: were unaware. And then two, you expect him to do
Speaker 2: it again. That's expecting the best. You're trusting in God's
Speaker 2: love when things look bad. Now, listen, we rarely understand
Speaker 2: why God allows things in our lives when they happen.
Speaker 2: Almost never does God give you an explanation of why
Speaker 2: there's pain in your life, problems in your life, difficulties
Speaker 2: in your life, circumstances you don't understand. Almost never does
Speaker 2: God give you an explanation. He didn't know you an
Speaker 2: explanation in the first place. But number two, you wouldn't
Speaker 2: understand some of the reasons until you get to have
Speaker 2: it and look back and go, oh, that's what was
Speaker 2: going on. So he doesn't explain why you go through
Speaker 2: what you're going through. So what do you do when
Speaker 2: you're in a difficult situation and it doesn't make sense,
Speaker 2: it has no rhyme or reason to it. What do
Speaker 2: you do? You trust in the love of God. You say,
Speaker 2: you know what. I know God loves me, and I
Speaker 2: know God is in control, and I know God sees
Speaker 2: everything that's going on in my life right now, and
Speaker 2: I know God could change it, and I know God
Speaker 2: wants what's best for me. So I don't have to
Speaker 2: have an explanation. It's obviously here in that it's in
Speaker 2: the best pathway for my life at this point in
Speaker 2: my life right now. I don't have to understand it
Speaker 2: because I am trusting in the fact that God is
Speaker 2: in control and God is good, and God loves me,
Speaker 2: and he wants what's best for me. It's okay, God,
Speaker 2: it doesn't makes sense, but I'm going to trust you. Folks.
Speaker 2: That is a deep, deep, deep level of faith that
Speaker 2: God wants you to grow in. Notice this verse he
Speaker 2: Brews twelve, verse ten. While we were children, our parents
Speaker 2: did what seemed best to them. But God is doing
Speaker 2: what is best for us, training us to live God's
Speaker 2: holy best. Now here's the key. If you want to
Speaker 2: handle the dark situations of life, You've got to look
Speaker 2: at them from God's perspective, not your own. And that
Speaker 2: makes all the difference in the world. You look at
Speaker 2: it from your viewpoint, it doesn't make sense. You look
Speaker 2: at it from God's viewpoint, the problem shrinks in size.
Speaker 2: The entire Israeli army looked at Goliath and said, this
Speaker 2: guy is impossible to handle. He's in our way. We're
Speaker 2: never gonna take him down. David looks at him from
Speaker 2: God's viewpoint and says, he's just a mere mortal man
Speaker 2: who is defiling and defaming God. And God is on
Speaker 2: our side, and he'll help us out and we can
Speaker 2: take him. It's all in the way you look at
Speaker 2: your situation. There's another promise that you might want to
Speaker 2: memorize this week. It's Psalm ninety one, verse fourteen. Notice
Speaker 2: what God says, I'll get you out of any trouble.
Speaker 2: Circle the word any. I'll get you out of any truble,
Speaker 2: any trouble. I'll give you the best of care if
Speaker 2: you'll only get to know and trust me. That's what
Speaker 2: God wants you to do. That's why God's been trying
Speaker 2: to get your attention through all the problems and stuff.
Speaker 2: He's been trying to get your attentions. I'll take care
Speaker 2: of you if you'll just get to know me and
Speaker 2: trust me. David tells us the fourth secret that we
Speaker 2: need to talk with other believers. That's the fourth key.
Speaker 2: Talk with other believers. David hung out with positive people.
Speaker 2: He wasn't just facing this giant on his own. He
Speaker 2: had emotional and spiritual support. And so I'm one nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty three, David says, I'm a friend and companion of
Speaker 2: those committed to making those committed to living by your rules.
Speaker 2: Now you need to associate with, You need to attach
Speaker 2: yourself to. You need to fellowship with other people of
Speaker 2: positive faith. Who do you hang out with? Does your
Speaker 2: faith get any support it all? If you hang out
Speaker 2: with cynical, sarcastic, critical, negative people, that's as contagious as
Speaker 2: faith is, and they will tend to infect you. If
Speaker 2: you want to be a person of great faith, of
Speaker 2: great expectations, then you need to find some people who
Speaker 2: build into your life additional faith who help you grow,
Speaker 2: because the wrong crowd will bring you down. There's a
Speaker 2: verse in the Bible that says bad company corrupts good character,
Speaker 2: and it really does when it comes to your attitude.
Speaker 2: It's like that old cliche. If you want to soar
Speaker 2: with the eagles, you can't run with the turkeys. David
Speaker 2: said in some One blessed is the man who doesn't
Speaker 2: stand in the seed of the scornful, or sit in
Speaker 2: the sea of the wicked of the scoffers. He doesn't
Speaker 2: hang out with cynical people, David goes, I don't do
Speaker 2: that because I don't want them to infect me with
Speaker 2: their negativism. You need to talk with other beliefs, people
Speaker 2: of faith on a regular basis. You need more VIPs
Speaker 2: in your life than vdps. Do you know the difference.
Speaker 2: VIPs are very inspirational people who build up your faith,
Speaker 2: and vdps are very draining people who take it out
Speaker 2: of you. Now, if you've got more vdps, very draining
Speaker 2: people in your life than VIPs, you're in trouble because
Speaker 2: your battery is getting drained. There's no way you're gonna
Speaker 2: expect the best. There's no way you're gonna be optimistic.
Speaker 2: There's no way you're going to be a person of
Speaker 2: faith because you're being drained all the time. You got
Speaker 2: to get some VIPs, very inspirational people in your life now.
Speaker 2: Of course, the most logical place to do that is
Speaker 2: in a Bible study, a Bible study class, or a
Speaker 2: small group where you can get to know some people
Speaker 2: who'll encourage you. That's why we talk about this all
Speaker 2: the time here at Saddleback. Look at the next verse says,
Speaker 2: let us not give up the habit of meeting together. Instead,
Speaker 2: let us encourage one another. If you're not in a class,
Speaker 2: if you're not in a group, where are you getting
Speaker 2: your encouragement on a weekly basis? Now, I want to
Speaker 2: pray for you. Let's bow our heads. The Bible says,
Speaker 2: keep company with God and get in on the best.
Speaker 2: And I don't want you to sit on the sidelines.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to miss out on what's going
Speaker 2: to happen. Father. I don't know that I've ever been
Speaker 2: more excited about a plan to help these wonderful people
Speaker 2: develop and strengthen their faith. And I could hardly wait
Speaker 2: to see the miracles and the changes you're going to
Speaker 2: do in our lives and our careers and relationships and families.
Speaker 2: Help them to put things first, things first, and to
Speaker 2: realize that without faith, it's impossible to please God. Lord.
Speaker 2: This is an important subject we're going to deal with now.
Speaker 2: I want you to pray, and I want you to
Speaker 2: pray this. Say thank you God in advance for all
Speaker 2: You're going to do in my life during the next
Speaker 2: fifty days. I'm expecting in faith. Now, in a crowd
Speaker 2: this size, I'm sure that there's some of you who
Speaker 2: are worried about a giant problem this next week, a
Speaker 2: goliath in your life. Maybe it's a lab report from
Speaker 2: a doctor, or maybe you've got a situation at work,
Speaker 2: or your kids are your family are in some kind
Speaker 2: of difficulty. Maybe you've got an important decision that has
Speaker 2: to be made soon. Why don't you relax right now,
Speaker 2: take a deep breath and trust Jesus Christ. Say Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: I want to put my trust in you and expect
Speaker 2: the best in your name. I pray Amen.

Speaker 1: Rick with a letter from one of our listeners friends.
Speaker 5: Today, I want to share with you a powerful testimony
Speaker 5: from Alqistas. She's a nineteen year old who listens to
Speaker 5: Daily Hope in Greece and she talks about how God
Speaker 5: began to work in her life as she listened to
Speaker 5: the message the courage to keep on. She wrote, Dear
Speaker 5: Pastor Rick, I just want to send you a big,
Speaker 5: big thank you. I've been completely lost. Over the last month,
Speaker 5: I've been anxious and sad and tired. I've wanted to
Speaker 5: give up, but my mother's a big supporter of yours,
Speaker 5: and she encouraged me to listen to your broadcast and
Speaker 5: I did. I started listening to it once or twice
Speaker 5: a week, just to make my mom happy. But one day,
Speaker 5: when I was in a mess, I bumped into a
Speaker 5: message of yours, called the Courage to Keep on Going.
Speaker 5: I was like, WHOA, how did he know? That broadcast
Speaker 5: was the beginning of my adventure with you? As I
Speaker 5: was far from God and I was attached to my
Speaker 5: stressful feelings. But I started listening to your broadcasts every
Speaker 5: day and I was filled with hope. I soon started
Speaker 5: to enjoy reading my Bible again, and I gained my
Speaker 5: trust in God again. And now I'm happier than ever.
Speaker 5: God talked to me through your messages and gave me
Speaker 5: new eyes to see that my life was an amazing
Speaker 5: and blessed life. So now I'm sharing your devotionals and
Speaker 5: your broadcast with all my friends, hoping that it will
Speaker 5: change them just as it did change me. Pastor Rick,
Speaker 5: I thank God for you and your amazing ministry. I
Speaker 5: thank you personally, and I thank your amazing team who's
Speaker 5: helping you deliver God's messages all around the world. Alqistas,
Speaker 5: thank you so much for writing to me. It's wonderful
Speaker 5: to know that you're reading your Bible again and the
Speaker 5: Daily Hope has helped you regain your trust in God
Speaker 5: and even increase your happiness. And I absolutely love the
Speaker 5: fact that your mom nudged you to listen to Daily
Speaker 5: Hope and now you're passing it along to all your
Speaker 5: friends and all your neighbors. You know, doing what you're
Speaker 5: doing is one of the easiest ways to share your
Speaker 5: faith with everybody around you. You just never know who's
Speaker 5: going to be in heaven because you cared enough to share.
Speaker 5: So thanks for writing.
