Isn’t it
always the age-old question as we enter a new year and a new season – what will
this year bring?
Maybe not,
I’m sure there are some of you who are focused and have clear goals and a plan
of action in place. Whether it be for your relationships, your career, your
racing season or just life in general.
Or maybe you’re
like many of us and you know what you want but just don’t have a clue how to
get there. Below find a very true quote I found floating around social media
last week that applies not only to our morals but to all that we do in life.
In the image
above Chief Sitting Bull (no relation) talks about feeding his inner self.
About whatever he gives the most attention and thoughts too, that emotion or
action will prevail.
Have you
found that your life is much the same? Have you ever wondered why? Or maybe you
just don’t know why you are getting the results you are.
Unfortunately,
many are never taught information like this. I know I hadn’t been exposed to
anything like this until I was in my late 20’s, oh how I wish someone would
have explained this to me earlier in life.
Let’s look
at another angle and see what the Bible has to say along similar lines.
The above
scripture comes from the Book of Matthew 7:7-8
Ask,
Seek, Knock
7 “Ask
and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be
opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and
to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
**Below message is for both believers
and non-believers**
Now, I’m not
sure what your beliefs are but wouldn’t it be great if it were just that
simple. Wouldn’t it be great if you got every sale you asked for, or that every
person you asked on a date said, yes.
Maybe you just need a few extra bucks to
get through the week, wouldn’t it be cool if you just asked this imaginary God
and an envelope showed up on your doorstep.
I’m here to
tell you that if you will dig into the scriptures in the Bible and that if you
can have the unshakable Faith, that God wants you to have everything that you
need and desire.
That if
you’re willing to trust in God, then take the actions described in those words
in the Book of Matthew, that your envelopes will be full, that you’ll have the
relationships you desire and that you will reach all your goals in the coming
year.
I’ll ask you
to not take my word for it, but to explore these truths for yourself. To
reflect when there was a time you needed something and said that little prayer
and it miraculously came true. When maybe you had some fear holding you back
and you broke through the barrier and took action, and all of the sudden it
really wasn’t that bad after all.
I must urge
you to be careful here, however. Let’s return to the wisdom that Sitting Bull
shared with us above. This principle will work for both good and bad.
If you seek
good and productive things you can achieve that goal but in the same token, if
you are feeding yourself or seeking negative or unproductive thoughts you will
get the equal result.
So make
yourself a promise in this new year and this new season. That you will ask for
what you need and have faith it will be given. That you will seek out new ways
to improve your life and that you will knock on the door of happiness and
results and accept it into your life.
One last
thing, even if you have to go hide in a corner to do it. Read that little black
book called the Bible and ask God daily for your wildest desires.
