"... Here in New England, some fans of skiing, have in their cars all year round stickers that say:" Think snow. "One day last summer, was driving behind one of those optimistic weather when a strange thing happened.
The word "snow" on the sticker in front of me turned momentarily blurred and became "God", so I read it was "Think Snow" but "Think God."
Usually when I make a trip by car, albeit in only a few minutes to the supermarket, I affirm divine order and protection. Today, I had forgotten to do so.
"Could it be that God was telling me something?" I asked.
After saying the "Prayer for Protection" Unity, I started thinking about my strange decal and mental transposition word "snow" to "God." I remembered something
May Rowland, former director of prayer ministry Silent Unity, had once written:
"The serenity is achieved by putting God first in everything every day of our lives. By directing our attention to God regularly and under all circumstances and conditions, obtenermos sure that all is well in our world, that God is in charge. "
On this particular day, I needed a reminder to put God first in my life. Perhaps there were other times when you forget to bring me to my thoughts and God would not have a sticker to remind. Until we put God first became second nature, a function as part of me as breathing, why not create my own system to remember?.
"Think of God" is a perfect stimulus for memory. One could not obey this order without calling to mind all the blessings, all the good that God wants for us. If these 3 words printed in a dozen index cards and paste them in strategic places, no matter where it was all day, would have a reminder on hand.
First, I put a tab on the dashboard. Thus, every time you go into it and light it, remember the loving and protective influence of God was as close as a statement.
Then I hit a chip on the refrigerator door and cabinet doors. For some time I had been trying to lose weight without much success because I loved to eat between meals. What better way to stop this harmful habit that every time I had the temptation to eat a snack banned, I wonder if that was God's plan for me.
I'm not the best housekeeper in the world, and generally find to wash dishes and clean floors are occupations that cause me joy. However, I know that any work carried out with joy becomes less arduous, less unpleasant. So put the chips that say "Think of God" over the sink and near closet for the broom and mop help me achieve a happier state of mind when you work in these areas. Psychologically, it would be impossible for me to think of God without my spirit will rise as a result.
Sometimes, writing is my vocation and my distraction. There have been many days I've sat in front of the typewriter with a blank mind or the best, with a tangle of words could not put in order. A reminder to think of God, from Whom all inspiration flows, above my typewriter, could easily mean the difference between frustration and deep satisfaction that would result in increased provision.
As I continued on my journey, I made a mental note of where would my bumper, the information that I "encourage" to God.
Finally and perhaps most important was the bedroom. Here, a tab attached to my bedside table invited me to wake up and go to sleep with thoughts of God.
Does this system work?. For me, yes. So much so that when the chips are broken or lost, I realize that I have to replace them because I see even better mentally ... "
NOTE: This post is a verbatim transcript of an accurate full article with the same title ( I did not change, respect for the author original) Lee Neville, published in a booklet called Unity "The Practice of the Presence of God" 2.004. Interestingly
I received for free, then I wrote a page of Unity requesting prayer for my family. Thanks. The significance of the words of Lee Neville in me is such that when thinking about a blog about God, I decided to put God Think. PEACE ANGEL
