Luke 14:11 says, "For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." (See also Luke 14:7-11) It is always better to choose the worse and be awarded the better, than to choose the best and end up with the worst. If expecting the worse, the better seems great! If expecting the best, the worst is somehow even worse.
