Prepare

Prepare

Sometimes just in the very process of living we forget we have choices in all our expectations as well as our experiences. I submit here … we do have those choices, sometimes on a moment by moment opportunity.

Our scripture for the week comes from Psalm 62:5. In reading it, it appears someone or something is speaking to our soul, which perhaps none of us can quite understand. Perhaps it is something we consciously don’t have to remember. With this impression we might also ask what is our soul?

Antiquity has taught us the; soul is man’s consciousness; that quality or state of being aware especially of something within oneself. We today affirm our Statement of Being as summing this up in this way…God is; I am.

Another words, when our soul, our consciousness, is waiting upon or is focusing upon God, our expectations will naturally come from God, from within; and be in harmony with God’s master plan for us and the results will be great and abundant.

The use of our mentality in our action, through our choice, constitutes Righteous Thinking or Right Thinking or Right Action. This is the activity of choosing which thoughts we are going to let remain in our mentality/mind and they are the elements of being prepared for the good in every area of our life experience. Good is what we were put on this earth to experience but through misunderstanding or misplacement of our power of thought we may have missed the boat perhaps. When we truly can choose and than affirm as Jesus the Christ, “Thy will be done” in all situations, we are sure our to have a deeper understanding. There naturally will follow a beautiful outcome to all our choices, of whatever it is that we may be about to experience or are experiencing.

Experiences will continue to appear and challenge our choice making perhaps, even some unsought experiences may appear, but we, being prepared, and with our affirmation focus “Thy will be done”, will direct our energy in the right direction and the outcome will surely be wonderful in ways would might never expect if our expectations are not great.

Let us be quick to also point out, gently, a loving parent would not have their child suffer. And if we believe that God is our creator/parent who provided us with all we would ever need in this beautiful world/universe in which to live, would He/She not have supplied us all the tools to live without limitations?

When we make the choice to turn over any and all adversities to God and expect great results, our life load will be lightened and light. We will be transformed and prepared for anything. We will be able to transmute everything from negative to positive. The only choice we do not have to make is how big or what we anticipate within our expectations. Leave it to “Thy will be done.”

A promise from the Old Testament tells it clearly and is recorded in Proverbs 10:28; “The hope of the righteous will be gladness. But the expectation’s of the wicked will perish.”

Choose carefully the thoughts you allow to pass thought your heart and mind. Choose carefully what you focus upon.

Will you focus on the Gift of Living a righteous life? Or on the ‘what if’s’ and trama that whirl around us every day? Will you choose to think from your heart as Proverbs reads, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”?

Will you choose to think in your heart first and discern with your head second? The choice is for each one of us to make for ourselves.
