A friend of mine shared a very old book with me this morning. It was written in 1910~ yet the things talked about in the book are still being taught today. It is the power of positive thinking~ believing and receiving.
The principles of positive thinking are found in the bible.
Gd has given us many promises~ it is our "job" to do what He has instructed and to have faith. Abraham was told by God that he would be a father of many nations. He was over a 100 years old at the time, his wife Sarah had been baren. Yet Abraham faith. Unwaivering faith, that the promise made by God would happen. Abraham did not question that God would do what He said. He may of questioned the how of it, but he believed that God could do anything and he gave God His Glory.
As I sat here reading and thinking about positive thinking I recalled a partial verse from Romans 4:17. The end of that verse says "the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were". God has powers beyond our comprehension.
Jesus tells us to have faith of a mustard seed. That if we say to a mountain "Move from here to there" it will happen. Of course we all know that a mountain cannot be moved. Don't we? But I got to thinking. Perhaps a mountain can be moved. Faith. If we have faith. But we have been taught that mountains can't move. After all they have been there for ever right? But if we look at this from the metaphorical view~ how many mountains (personal mountains we need to get over) can we move if we have faith?
I am dire need of a new home. I want a home that is comfortable and has room in it for my family to live comfortably. I have ran into one mountain after another in trying to get this. This morning it came to me...
I need to set aside wondering HOW it can happen, tell that mountain to move out of my way, and have FAITH that God will indeed bring to me the home that is perfect for me and my family right now. I do not have to wait days or weeks for this. It can happen today. I have to get myself out of the way to let God do what he needs to do to make it happen.
And so, here it is, I am speaking to the mountain in my life, MOVE FROM HERE TO THERE! I have faith that God will do the marvelous things in my life that I have been waiting for.
