Directed by God

Proverbs 16:9 KJV — A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

You’re not in this by yourself.

Your steps, your  actions, are directed by God.

He directs your thinking when you commit your works to Him (Proverbs 16:3).

Pay attention to your thoughts and guard your heart.

God directs you through your line of thinking.

Soft touch

Proverbs 15:1 KJV — A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

The force of the wrath you’re facing doesn’t require an equal and opposite force.

The chemical reaction of a soft answer neutralises or diverts the wrath.

Transmutes it. Turns it away. Converts it into something else.

Emotional alchemy.

Use a soft touch with a fierce temper.

It’s more powerful than you think.

Chasing butterflies

Proverbs 14:6 KJV — A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

That’s what it’s like when a scorner seeks wisdom.

He doesn’t understand how butterflies work. He doesn’t see that the act of chasing  after them will keep driving them away from them.

What he doesn’t know and understand is keeping him from what’s readily available to those who do.

Where are you chasing butterflies?

Don’t worry

Philippians 4:6 KJV — Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Be careful for nothing.

Carry no care in your heart.

Don’t hold onto worry or anxiety.

You’re not worried, you’re feeling worried.

The real you is separate from that which would have you carrying concerned in your heart.

Like a ship sailing across the ocean, keep the water on the outside of your Hull.

Worry is not a sign of caring.

Worry is a sign that you think the solar system revolves around the earth, instead of around the sun.

You are not the sun.

Don’t worry.

Absolute certainty

Mark 11:24 KJV — Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

I’m going to master my scales. That’s the determination I’m feeling now. There is no doubt about it. I want to do it, I’ve asked God for help, and I have 100% certainty of victory. I’m not practising with the hope of getting what I’m after. I’m practising because I have an absolute conviction that what I’m pursuing is already mine. Faith of a child. This is how I prayed about only getting 4s (As) as a kid, and also about going to basketball camp. This is mine and I’m going to have it. The same thing is true of healing and prosperity and long life and anything else you desire when you pray. It’s mine. I’m here to take it. It’s a done deal.
