No matter what problem you may have to face today, there is a solution, because you have nothing to deal with but your own thoughts. As you know, you have the power to select and control your thoughts, difficult though it may be at times to do so. As long as you think that your destiny is in the hands of other people, the situation is hopeless.
Remind yourself constantly that you have nothing to deal with but your own thoughts. Write it down where you will see it often. Have it on your desk. Hang it in your bedroom. Write it in your pocketbook. Write it on your soul. It will transform your life. It will lead you out of the land of Egypt and out of the House of Bondage. It will bring you to God.
I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies (Psalm 119:59).
This sounds easy enough and is most certainly true. All we really have to overcome each day is our thoughts. Yet, in practice, this is probably the hardest discipline we will ever seek to master. So hard in fact that it would be impossible without the grace of God. The good news is that God’s grace is always available to us in limitless measure. It is only our ability to accept and live in that grace which limits it.
The trick is to removes the self-imposed limits on grace that we erect and imprison ourselves in each day. Those limitations come in many forms yet always begin as thoughts. When we think something is too big for us or we are too small for it; that its out of our hands or just the way it is; then we are limiting grace. We remove all such limits when we think that it is only our thoughts for which we are responsible. Then, if we turn to God with those thoughts, direct them to God and seek God’s help in controlling them; grace flows through us like a mighty river washing away the self-imposed limits.
So today, let us focus on turning our thoughts to God, and asking God to lift out thoughts and consciousness toward gladness and rejoicing. Then we will find that regardless of our circumstances, we may walk with peace and hope in the garden God gave us.
Thoughts up!
