“The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.”
Dr. Wayne Dyer
I’ve had this little quote posted next to my computer for some time. I am often reminded that our minds are the center of our battles. What we think, pours out and therefore allows others to know what we think.
Think on that.
I was reading this morning and came across the story of Jesus first miracle. He was attending a wedding. They were just about to run out of wine and his mother came to him and said, “Oh Jesus, please make some more wine for us.” He told her that it was not his time yet. ( having not performed any miracles yet) Mary must have known different. As in most miracles Jesus performed, he involved the faith and obedience of others. The servants were an important part of the miracle as they did just what Jesus told them to do.
Have you ever asked Jesus to get involved in an unusal problem? No matter what problem you have, Jeus invites you to seek him as the solution to your problem.
Usually when we have problems we just want them fixed and we want them fixed quick. Isn’t that the way of the world these days. Everything has a microwave mentality. DO it now….. I want it now….. seems to be everyone’s agenda…
Sometimes Jesus wants us to wait on him. To rest in him. To seek his face. If we will do that our problems will seem smaller than they are, not as heavy as we thought and in the process we will find someone who loves us more than anyone else and wants the very best for us.
I’m sure that question got your attention???? We took our Boxer to be neutered yesterday and it really got me to thinking. About half way there we thought,” Are we doing the right thing?” We concluded that we were and continued on. We picked him up late yesterday afternoon and he was feeling Terrible…. I mean capital T terrible. I got his bed fixed and checked on him all night long. I petted him throughout the night trying to show him some comfort. THEN about 4 am this morning it hit me. “What if I had been neutered?” Not in the sense of a dog but in life. Have you ever been Neutered. Something taken away from you that left you sick, broken-hearted, feeling despair. I’m sure we all have. What do we do when we lose something?? What if it is simply that job that we wanted and did not get, what if it was that bonus or raise we thought we were gonna get and didn’t, what if it was that cute fella we just knew was going to be ours but turned out to be someone elses OR maybe, just maybe, we lost our spirit. ( our power and desire to praise and worship) Have any of those things happen to you??? TODAY.. let’s press in to the one who gives us all things, blesses us with all things and who takes care of us in ALL THINGS…..
