Thought For Today - 8/29/09
The other day I was sitting at one of my favorite eating places and there were a group of people sitting next to me. I was not ease dropping on their conversation - they were talking loud. Their main topic of conversation was the fear of losing what they had.
As I sat there waiting for my salmon salad to be serve, I sensed most if not all at that table were focusing all of their energy on fear. One individuals stated they had started holding on tightly to their money.
We are to save, invest, etc. and use wisdom when it comes to finances. On the flip side, we can hold on so tightly to our money, it can keep us from being part of reaping & harvesting from the flow of abundance.
We have control over our thoughts and responses. They will be fear based or faith based. If you look at everything around you, listen to or watch the news, read the paper or Internet, you will have fear.
But, as I have done and keep doing, I get the proper perspective from the Word of God. In God, there is no lack or poverty. There is never just enough but there is always more than enough in Him.
Fear is contaminate faith - a delusion - a distorted way of understanding ourselves and the world around us. God is the source. Your job is not your source or should not be your source. Your job should be an avenue that God has provided, but it is not your source.
Spend time focusing on the Word of God. In His Word you will find love which puts fear in the shadows and it will disappear. The choice is yours - put your trust, hope and faith in God where there is love, peace, abundance and joy just to name a few. Or put your trust in fear where there is no love, no peace, no joy and lack just to name a few.
Much love,
Joseph
