You are Designed for Success

Have you ever thought about all the wonderful things that happen within your body to sustain your life?  In every breath you take there is an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your lungs, in every beat of your heart blood is circulated throughout your entire body, in just the movement of your fingers millions of nerve impulses happen instantaneously.   All the billions of interactions that take place within your body each minute of every day is mind blowing and they all happen without your conscious effort.

Now think about this, would a God that took the time to design such a complex and wonderful creation as you ever want you to live an ordinary life?  No, you are God's gift to the world, designed by It's hand to live an extraordinary life.  You are made for success, why else are you so magnificently created?

Be Still

This morning I awoke with that anxious feeling.  My mind was full of chatter, "what am I doing in life?, where am I going with my life?, am I good enough?...."  Then I picked up one of my favorite books on meditation, went outside, and set in one of my favorite quiet places to read.  As I read I became conscious of my union with God and the more I focused on that unity the quieter the mind chatter became and the less anxious I felt.

Finally, I came to a place of complete quietness and my anxiety, and the mind chatter ceased.  Then I could hear the voice of God reassure me that all was okay and His grace was always sufficient for me.  Just as this revelation came to me I saw a robin land from above and pickup a worm for it's breakfast and I knew if God provided for a bird, He surly had provisions for me.

I was completely at peace now, filled with the consciousness of God's love and protection which can only be found in that quiet place within, which says "be still and know that I am God."  So, when you are filled with anxiety and your mind is racing with all kinds of fear, just go to that quiet place, meditate on your unity with God and be still.
