Positive Daily Inspiration – August 22, 2022 – FIVE ACTION STEPS

“And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, ‘Peace, be still.’ And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And He said unto them, Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” Mark 4:39-41

Some people go through life re-acting, or even re-coiling, out of fear to the events of daily life. These people wait for things to happen then they react. Outer events that happen to them and around them determine what kind of day they will have, and unless they change, the kind of life they will have. These people do not live, but out of fear, they huddle and hide.

Some people even allow the weather to determine their mood and outlook on a particular day. Many of these people lead sad lives. They feel like they are victims of the outer events and circumstances that they have no control over.

I have a sign in my office, I wrote it to myself. It says, Don’t Be an Idiot! I.D.I.O.T. to me, stands for, I’ll Do It Only Tomorrow!

The human mind LOVES to put things off – till tomorrow. Human mind left to its own devices, lives in the forgotten promises of yesterday. Often we use the credit card of the debt of time – and when the bill becomes due, there is often not enough time, to pay it.

An idiot experiences D.U.M.B. To me, this stands for, Delay Under Minds Brain.

The brain that is connected to the Mind of God, is working in the realm of miracles.

The brain connected only to its own resources is quite limited, and only turns to itself repeating the thinking that hasn’t worked in the past. It is very exhausting, and delay seems to be the only relief.

There are people who consciously take the reigns of their life and become pro-active. These people take action before outer events take action. We live in a constantly moving and changing universe; to keep up we have to be action oriented. God has given us free-will to determine our own destiny. God has given us power, dominion and authority, but it is up to us to choose to take action.

If we wait for circumstances to take action, things may, or may not, turn out right.

FIRST ACTION STEP … GOD FIRST!

The first action to take, before outer action, is prayer in a positive affirming way for the way that you choose things to be. Jesus said, “when you pray, believe you have already received!”

SECOND ACTION STEP …

Pray to God for guidance, and the power, courage, ability, and personal motivation to make the move and take action.

THIRD ACTION STEP …

Outer movement in the direction that God has guided you to move.

FOURTH ACTION STEP …

Believe that God is going ahead of you; preparing the way for your good.

THE FIFTH ACTION STEP … EXPECT A MIRACLE!

Your purpose in this life is soul growth, just as a boat is not meant to stay in a harbor, you are not meant to stay in a place where you huddle and hide. All of us have had times where we have been re-active and other times where we have been active. I would venture to say that if you look back on your life, the happiest and most satisfying times, were when you were “living” and taking ACTION.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I realized that when I try my hardest to control a situation
that I overreact and lose control.
The only real control is when You are in control.
When I experience an inner urging after prayer to move forward in my life
or career I boldly take that step of positive action.
I know that I am using faith as my anchor.
You are there to support me.
Help me to be a proactive person.

How alive I feel letting You be God in my life!
In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Today, I walk with God. I am a positive proactive person.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.” John F. Kennedy
