Back in the Zone

-
"The truth is," said Scrubb, "we were so jolly keen on getting to this place that we weren't bothering about anything else. At least I know I was. Ever since we met the woman with the knight who didn't talk, we've been thinking of nothing else. We'd nearly forgot about Prince Rilian." (Silver Chair)

We all have times when we are pursuing a goal or dream so passionately that sometimes we get tired and distracted. We get off track, we let up, or focus on something else.  Maybe today you have been trying to beat that addiction, you're focused, you're intense on beating it.  Sometimes though that goal is taking a long time, you are tired. You have put in a lot of energy. It just seems like you need a rest.  This is a great time. You are in the middle of your battle. The birthing pangs are getting stronger. When the intensity starts to get higher, you can know that you are close to your victory. But here is the key, like Eustace, even if you get off track, come back to that place of awareness and be mindful of what your real goal is.  Great Spirit knows what you are going through. He knows all of the solutions before we had the problem. He knew you were going to get distracted. When you become aware, do not let that bother you. This is the Great Spirit reminding you to stay the course. Even if you get distracted, you are just one decision from being back in the zone. Take joy knowing that you are never far away from the Great Lion. You may feel like it, you may be distracted, but one decision can get you back in the zone. Several years ago there was a book called The Zone Diet. The author made the claim that even if you had a "bad" day and ate foods that took you away from your goals, all you had to do was for your next meal eat foods that would put your body back in the zone. This can be a freeing way to live. Knowing that even if we get distracted and off course, we do not have to beat ourselves  up and quit. We just go back to doing the steps to reach our dream. If you can do this, I believe and declare Great Spirit will make you more aware and give you more peace than you could ever imagine.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
GREAT SPIRIT, WHOSE VOICE I HEAR IN THE WINDS, thank you for the gift of awareness. Thank you that we do not have to be so hard on ourselves. When we get distracted we are just one decision from being back on track. Thank you for your grace that sustains us. By the Lion's Mane, Let this be so.

The True Sign of Maturity

[A Year with Aslan, Lewis, 2010] "Aslan, Aslan, dear Aslan," sobbed Lucy, "at last."     The GREAT LION rolled over on his side so that Lucy fell, half sitting and half lying between his paws. He [Aslan] bent forward and touched her nose with his tongue. His warm breath came around her. She gazed up into his large, wise face.    "Welcome, child," he said.    "Aslan," Lucy said, "you're bigger."    "That is because you are older, little one," answered he.    "Not because you are?"    "I am not. But every year you grow you will find me bigger." What does it mean to you that each year you grow, we discover the Great Lion to be bigger? A PRAYER FOR TODAY GREAT SPIRIT, thank you that each year we live you become bigger on the inside of us. Thank you that the Great Lion grows bigger and more powerful in and through us every year of our life. Thank you for giving us the wisdom to see your mysterie...

Giant Slayer

“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16, NASB) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria When people hear the story of David and Goliath, sometimes they think, “That was all God.” And yes, in a sense, it was all God; but God didn’t sling the stone. David had a role to play, too. God gave David the skill that he had to develop in order to be prepared for that defining moment. Like David, God has put skills inside of you so that you can slay the giants in your life. You have the skills that can open new doors, skills that can lead to an abundant life, but the key is that the skills have to be developed. Every day that you spend growing, learning and improving, you’re getting prepared for that new level. Today, while you’re waiting for that new opportunity, start sharpening your skills. Study your boss. Study your manager. Learn that position. Be able to step into their shoes. When God sees that you are prepared, then He can ...

You Get What You Think

“The fears ….. will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.” (Proverbs 10:14 NLT) Our life will always move to what we think about most, which is why it is so important to guard your mind. If you are not careful you can think about only negative things and you become a negative person. Have you ever been around that person who only has the news channel on in their house? They are always talking about how bad things are, how things just seem to be getting worse, the world is coming to an end. That person over time, if you take notice, will become a very cynical, negative person. Why? They were moving toward what they were watching and thinking about.  We also know those people who let their fears take hold of their life, “My car is going to break down this week, and I just know it”or“I knew we wouldn’t be able to go on that vacation, I just knew I would get downsized.” What happened? Your fears were fulfilled. ...
