1. Is
there anything you can do to change what you have already done?
2. Is
there anything that you can do to change your current situation?
3. Is
there anything that you can do that could change your future?
Too many people spend too much of
their time - (in their mind) in the part of their lives that cannot be changed -
the past. Any time that you give the
past, in the way of remorse - guilt -
hatred - revenge - anger towards God - dragging up old bones - thinking about
old flames - fallen preachers - unanswered prayer - unkept promises -
unforgiven debt - anything that is taking time away from your now and your
future, is not only taking valuable time, it is causing you and to perpetuate the
same kind of thinking that has held you back or kept you from reaching that next
goal in life, in the first place. God thinking requires you to
live in God’s time. God is with the
program. He is very contemporary. He is fully up to date, today and
forever. God is about today and
tomorrow.
Nothing
with God happens yesterday. God
thinking requires less focus on where you’ve been - what you’ve done - what you have or haven’t accomplished - what you’ve lost - or what
could have been:
And more
focus on where you are today, where you are going, what you are going to
do, what you can accomplish and who you can be.
Everyone
complains about not having enough time to do this or that, but this too is not God
thinking. There is time. If you believe that there is not enough time, you have
allowed a kind of mental virus to get into your thinking and slowly eat away at your vitality and your hope.
It is not
true that you don’t have time. It was
never true. God thinking will
demand a higher call to the way that you dispose the day."
