ORACLES: Lesson 64

Life is choice driven and often times we allow our emotions to drive our choice to be happy, mad, sad, encouraged and/or optimistic. Life will happen to each of us, but how we approach the issues will determine our success in it.

Proverbs says, if you falter during days of adversity how small is your strength. The strength I believe we’re talking about is our ability to process what is going on and filter the information through the Word of God. If you cannot filter your situation through God’s word, you’ll use your emotions to drive every behavior and all of your decisions in life.

Stop letting life happen to you and change your mind. You change your mind about what you’d like to eat, where you’d like to go, and many other things which means, you can change your mind it’s just that you’re being selective with what.

When I change my mind about how I feel I fast-forward in my mind what the situation I’m facing by seeing myself after the facts. In other words, when I had a car accident I had every opportunity to become unnerved but I decided to live in the following day envisioning how I would feel the next day in the evening. I realized my current situation did not have to dictate how I responded, and I chose that.

If you find yourself frustrated, offended by people, in despair often, and generally mad the problem is not outside of you it’s within you. It’s all in your mind. If you just change your mind, you will change your day.
