Tackling That Bugbear
December 9, 2008 by zgardener
When what seems an especially difficult problem or a great emergency presents itself, many students of the Truth start by thinking, “This is very serious,” and then proceed to brace themselves mentally for a supreme effort; and plan to pray exceedingly “hard” in order to meet the difficulty.
All this is quite wrong. It simply builds up the problem into something far bigger that it was originally. The right attitude, the one that brings Victory, is to think “God can and will solve this problem.”
Instead of speaking the Word from the low altitude of fear and limitation, and trusting to effort to magnify the Lord, stop thinking of the problem altogether, and rise in consciousness. Having now attained a higher level – speak t he Word gently from that level, and your problem will be solved.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful … (Hebrews 4:12).
How often we resist resist the mindset that God can and will solve the challenges we face! Its like we have an obligation to think we must do it by ourselves. This self elevation is simply ego, pride and vanity masquerading as self sufficiency. Not that we don’t have to work hard and carry our share of the load. We do. But the real answer to any of our emergencies or obstacles is the faith that God can and will present the solutions we need.
The other trick employed by the deceiver is to use fear and false perceptions of limitation to make us believe we are incapable or unworthy of a solution. This self devaluation is merely false separation from God blocking our connection to His power.
When we truly know that faith and fear can not occupy the same space and that limitation always yields to the infinite in us, then we are ready to accept God’s solution to that which concerns us. And, we have already overcome the beast.
In faith,
