Deep Thought Friday
My posts are usually about My Life Lessons. These are the things
I’ve lived through, witnessed and now talk about how they’ve affected me. In
some instances, these things still affect me. While some of those things are actual facts/events, some are
readings and information that is passed on to me.
I want to change things a little. I want
this new “Deep Thought Friday” series
to be more than a casual stop on my blog for the latest read.
I want to allow you to come up with your
own conclusion to a situation… with your own moral of the story. I want to see
if you can connect with a particular story in such a way that it will give you
a sense of purpose, a new direction or perspective, and maybe just maybe -
think deeper and further than usual.
As you read, discuss the moral in each
story with your spouse or partner, or with a close friend. Connect every story
with yourself. Challenge yourself. Think about what you’ve learned from the
story and what change you can bring to your life.
This week “Deep Thought Friday” is about RECOGNIZING AND ACTING UPON YOUR
BLESSINGS… YOU WILL BE FAVORED
“A flood was threatening a small town and
everyone was leaving for safety except one man who said, "God will save
me. I have faith." As the water level rose a jeep came to rescue him, the
man refused, saying "God will save me. I have faith." As the water
level rose further, he went up to the second storey, and a boat came to help
him. Again he refused to go, Belying, "God will save me. I have
faith." The water kept rising and the man climbed on to the roof. A
helicopter came to rescue him, but he said, "God will save me. I have
faith." Well, finally he drowned. When he reached his Maker he angrily
questioned, "I had complete faith in you. Why did you ignore my prayers
and let me drown?" The Lord replied, "Who do you think sent you the
jeep, the boat, and the helicopter?"
Praying is putting your energy into
someone higher than you, and projecting it out to the universe. Believing in
God is acknowledging that he will be by your side to help you and support you.
In giving us free will, he gave us the opportunity to accept responsibility for
our lives. Don’t just wait, wonder and wish… Instead prepare, plan and take
action for a chance of a flourishing life. NO ONE but you can do your work…
