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.
What are we claiming for ourselves? How do we see the world and our future in it?
Do we see ourselves improving each day, growing each day and gaining more peace, joy and happiness?
Do we see God acting in our lives more each day to protect us and lift us up?
Do we truly believe that things are getting better, going the right way and drawing us closer to God? If the answer to these questions is affirmative, then keep going in the same direction with these thoughts. If not, then a change of course and thought might be considered.
Claiming good,
