There is no use in merely saying that everything will be all right. Thinking rightly, of course, means putting God into all your affairs and expecting him to change them. For example, if you are living in a shack it is not any good pretending that it is a palace. Cheap optimism is never spiritual. Realize that you are living in a shack, but claim the Presence of God to guide you to something better.
Teach me the way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path … (Psalm 27:11).
Thinking rightly is the gateway to positive change. That does not mean we can change things by thinking they are are changed. It does mean changing the way we think to reflect God’s will. When we alter the way we think in order to become loving, giving, patient, tolerant, faithful and the other traits required by our faith, then we can expect our circumstances to change for the better. Just saying we believe is not enough. We must change our thinking and our behavior so God can then lead us to our true garden.
