In the gold rush days, prospectors went out in the mountains in search of the yellow metal. Often the task was long and arduous with little to show for days of struggle and privation. But when a find was made, the prospector would stake his claim so that others would know that that particular discovery belonged to him. Of course, some claims turned out to be shallow veins of ore and worth little, while other claims eventually made their owners fabulously wealthy.
In metaphysics, we often speak of claiming our good, and it is one of the surest ways of bringing the good we desire into our lives. If we want health, then we have to claim every day that divine Life brings well-being to every part of our body. If we want prosperity, then we claim every day that God is the giver of every good gift, ready to supply our every need.
Whatever it is we wish to bring into our life, we stake our claim to it.
Of course, we often claim negative things for ourselves without fully realizing it. Every time we say, “My cold,” “My headache,” “My indigestion,” we are claiming those things for ourselves. What one claims for himself he will eventually bring into his life.
Affirm your divine kinship. All that the Father hath is ours – if we will stake our claim to it.
Let us today claim our divine kinship to God along with all the joy and gladness that goes with it. Let us look forward to “our” success, health, peace, communion and strength this year. Let us remember that God has ordained a wonderful life for us, and that life is waiting on us to to make it a reality. Let us be ever mindful that out thoughts and feeling are our choice, and that what we say, do and think expresses itself in our lives. Let us love fully, feel intensely and worship joyfully to the God from which all blessings flow. Then we will all experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Claim staked,
