An Experiment

 
 
Try this experiment today. Select one particular thing in your life that is not going well and you wish to make right. Next consider the matter in the light of your knowledge of God and of prayer. Realize that this thing cannot remain inharmonious or negative once you know the Truth about it. Realize that you are now knowing the Truth and claim that the divine Power in you is now healing the condition completely and permanently.
 
Then give thanks. Remember that praise and thanksgiving are the most powerful prayers of all.
 
The next day, repeat your thanksgiving, until the answer comes.
 
In between prayers you must keep your thought right concerning the problem. This is vital. All-day-long guiding of your thought cannot fail to bring your demonstration.
 
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord (Psalm 104:34).
 
Remember, this is a one day experiment, so concentrate on doing it right. You will be amazed at the results.

When…

            When your knees are knocking together, and you do not know which way to turn – think of God and His goodness.
 
When prosperity seems out of the question – give thanks for God’s abundance.
 
When you want peace of mind – dwell upon the Presence of God.
 
When your health is under par – speak the healing Word.
 
When you need inspiration – browse through the Bible.
 
When the situation seems to need a miracle – remember that nothing is too difficult for God, and the He is performing miracles every day.
 
I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee (Joshua 1:5).
 
When we turn to God for help, at once we are joined with God in the midst of our troubles. The presence of God in our mind brings the presence of God to the things that are troubling our mind. It is as if a comforting friend has come to our aid; a friend who has infinite power and wisdom; a friend who loves us as his children; a friend who will suffer with us until the blessings in our pain is revealed.
 
Why would we try to face our problems alone, when such a powerful, loving friend stands ready to join us, help us and comfort us? Many times it is our pride, ego or false ideas of self-reliance that robs us of this ever-present help. Sometimes it is because we do not want to do that which God would have us do to resolve the problem. Whatever the reason or excuse, we deny ourselves the surest form of help when we do not turn to God.
 
Today, let each of us bring God into our thoughts, into our problems and into our concerns. Then, each of us will find the strength, courage and hope we need to see the blessing in our pain and to reap those blessings according to God’s will and mighty power.
 
When…God,

How Much Can God Do?

 
The Bible tells us that God can heal us, that He can deliver us from our destructions, that He lifts up the weak, that He leads and guides us. But just how much can God do? Well, God can do almost anything. That may sound strange to those who have been taught that with God all things are possible. But there are some things that God cannot do, and it is fortunate for us that this is true.
 
God is a God of love and rules by principle, and because this is so, He cannot change His nature. He cannot break divine law. He cannot bring disease, or suffering, or lack.
 
He is always the loving Father, ready to hear and answer prayer.
 
How much can God do? He can bring heaven here and now – not by breaking the law, which is impossible to God – but by fulfilling it.
 
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law (Psalm 119:18).
 
We too can do many things by following God’s will and fulfilling God’s laws. This is not easy, in fact, it may be the hardest thing we ever attempt. However, the rewards are the greatest available to humankind. To live in peace and to walk with God in the Eden created for us. Not above pain and troubles, but happy and joyous in the midst of them. And then, to be with God in true joy and peace for all time. Its really the bargain of the ages, but it is really hard at first.
 
Working hard,

Stake Your Claim

 
 
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,
Z gardener
