Action

Action is the one key ingredient that is lacking in many “magical” success formulas. “Wishing, hoping, thinking, praying” is a partial line from a song you may remember. Both in the song’s lyrics and in reality this lukewarm approach brings no immediate results. Not until you intensify the action and blend it with a high degree of emotion do you ignite the spark of desire that in turn produces action. From a spark to a flame to a bonfire is not a single step, but the progression is a given if the desire and fuel are present.

In order to bring about a positive result, you must first hold your intention mentally as a thought form and next utilizing your physical nature, bring your thought into reality through overt action. Daydreaming, or thinking endlessly about the good life, only produces procrastination and eventually stillborn ideas. But, if you bring your ideas to fruition, you can “birth” those ideas into your physical reality by acting on your heart’s desire.

Think back to a time when you wanted something in your life that may have been impractical, costly, or beyond your current ability to acquire. Even though you knew that you had roadblocks, the desire wouldn’t leave you. Instead of giving up, you revved up your emotional engine and set your course on what it was that you desired with all your heart and soul. As your emotions intensified regarding your desire, so too did your physical self contribute to defining and walking the steps toward reaching your goal.

Dreams are impractical only when we fail to grasp their application in the here and now. Both our waking dreams and our sleeping dreams can forecast our future. The test is not if we fully understand their meaning, but if we understand how to use the received messages for advancement to our higher selves.

“The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous, but is terror to the workers of iniquity.”
~ Solomon Prov 21:15

Fearless Preparation for Trials

“God has not given us a spirit of timidity [fear], but of power and love and discipline.”

The true follower of Christ has no reason to fear potential sufferings and trials.

Concerning frustration and fear at the 1992 Winter Olympics, speed skater Dan Jansen said, “What happened was I skated a race that I can only describe as tentative. I looked good. I didn’t slip. Yet something kept me from going flat out.” The favored Jansen, haunted by well-publicized failures to win medals in 1988 or 1992, finally overcame his fear and triumphed in 1994 in the 1,000-meter speed-skating event.

Believers’ can also react with intense fear and painful disappointment to life’s trials if they are not prepared for the possibility of difficulties. But many centuries ago Proverbs 29:25 encouraged God’s followers not to be afraid: “The fear of man brings a snare, but he who trusts in the Lord will be exalted.” Paul exhorted Timothy in a similar way when he wrote the words of today’s verse.

In Matthew 10:29-31, the Lord Jesus provides a wonderful reason for His disciples not to serve Him under a cloud of fear. The point of His commonsense illustration is simple. If the Father cares for small birds and numbers each hair on our heads, He is certainly concerned about our physical and spiritual welfare and the ultimate good of our souls. No matter how bad the situation is or how prolonged the trial may seem, God is able to sustain us.

Later Jesus provided an excellent summary of His teaching on fear with these familiar words to the Twelve: “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful” (John 14:27). With such a strong promise and reassurance that the Holy Spirit will always be present, how can any of us who profess Jesus Christ make room for debilitating fear, no matter what tough tests and persecutions may yet face us?

Suggestions for Prayer:
If you have a particular situation or person in your life that causes you much fear and anxiety, pray that God would strengthen you and remove the cause of that fear.

For Further Study:
Read Psalm 118:5-9. Memorize verse 6 or another one in this brief passage that will be a helpful resource should you face persecution.

Control Emotions with Physical Labor

 clipped from www.naphill.org

Emotions are sometimes strange, volatile, and unpredictable. They do not always respond to logic and reason. They do, however, respond to action. If you have occasional feelings of loneliness, discouragement, or discontentment, the best way to kill such negative emotions is to work them to death. Almost nothing is as bad as it first seems, and there’s nothing like a hard day’s work to put everything in proper perspective. When you begin to feel negative emotions, dwelling on your misfortunes only makes you feel worse. Do your best to put them out of your mind and think about more positive, constructive things. Physical labor can help. Choose a task that doesn’t require a great deal of concentration, and then focus on accomplishing the task at hand.
