Work by rehearsing everything that you know about God. God is Wisdom, Truth, inconceivable Love. God is present everywhere; has infinite power; knows everything. It matters not how well you may think you understand these things; go over them repeatedly.
The rule is to think about God, and if you are thinking about your difficulty you are not thinking about God. To be continually glancing over your shoulder in order to see how matters are progressing is fatal, because that is thinking of the trouble, and you must think of God, and of nothing else. Your object is to drive the thought of the difficulty right out of your consciousness, for a few moments at least, substituting for it the thought of God. If you can become so absorbed in this consideration of the spiritual world that you really forget for a while all about the trouble concerning which you began to pray, you will presently find that your trouble falls into new perspective, new relationships, so that it is no longer a difficulty.
…thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all
(Nehemiah 9:6).
Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? (Job 31:4).
The first word of today’s message sums it up…work! Once we have the golden key of understanding, then we must work to unlock the door to God’s infinite power, wisdom, love and truth. We have to do the work of thinking rightly if we are to pass through that door. Then we must also do the work of acting rightly if we are to live each day in the Garden. All this work is not a burden. In fact, it removes from us the burdens of guilt, doubt, fear and shame that blocks our communion with God and our entrance to Eden. Free of these burdens, we are able to live each day in joy and gladness.
At work,
