On inauguration day, President Biden proclaimed he was going to administer 100 million vaccine doses in 100 days. The day of that pronouncement, the former administration administered 1.5 million vaccines and the previous week’s average was 966,000 doses a day. Many might call this “sandbagging.”
Sandbagging is when you lower expectations so that you can exceed your goal later.
In John 21:6, Jesus said to his disciples, “‘Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.’ So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.”
Jesus set the bar low for these fishermen, then vastly exceeded their expectations. It can be wise to under promise and over deliver, allowing for an early victory.
