Hello All,
I am finally getting around to writing again and I apologize for taking so long to get back to it. Today I want to talk about what's steering your bus? What's directing your life? The answer to that is easy - our thoughts direct or life. The bible says in Proverbs 23:7 that as a man thinks in his heart so is he. What does that mean, your thoughts are steering your bus! Have you ever sat around and worried about a big test. Every time you think about it, you become afraid of failing it? Then when you actually take the test, you don't do so well? I know I've done things like that.
Let me tell you about one area that this has happened and what I figured out to do to stop it from happening again. My company had a big client up until about a year ago and I listened to several people who would worry with me about this big client and what they were trying to do to us. We all worried for several months and then I found myself worrying about what would happen if we lost them. How would we survive and what would we do. Now there was no real obvious signs of things going wrong with them but my heart began to be fixed on how we would lose them. Sure enough, at the end of last year they fired us! Just like Job, the thing that I feared had come upon me. I believe that this is always the devil's plan for our lives. He is constantly trying to steal, kill and destroy.
Now thank God that He is gracious enough to see us through our mistakes. When I realized that I was doing it with another place in my business, the Lord showed me what I was doing and I was able to stop. Why didn't God show me before I lost the big client? He was trying to tell me, I just wasn't listening.
If we just stopped right here this would be good news but this isn't as far as it goes. See, we can set our minds on good things and they will come to pass too! There is another aspect of my business that is starting to go really well. It is actually multiplying. I don't mean it's growing, it's multiplying. Now we started talking about this business at the first of the year much differently. When I started this year, I was talking about this business being much larger than it is now. I was seeing it, I was believing it and I was expecting it. Guess what - that's exactly where it's headed. As I am thinking in my heart, so is it.
So let me ask you, where are you seeing yourself? What thoughts are you allowing to run around inside you? Do you see yourself as overcome or overrun? If you are struggling with this today, do me a favor. As hard as it may be, take 10 minutes a day and start to use your imagination. See yourself overcoming the thing you are struggling with. See God stepping into your situation and it turning around. See yourself as the victor not the victim.
