THINK ABOUT GOD

Wayne Dyer suggests that we “think from the end” when confronted with life’s challenges. Having embarked on the path of Living on the Spiritual Basis, we now know that at the “end” the solution for every difficulty or problem is God. We can turn to God at any point along the way, but the sooner the better. Think of it this way; wherever you travel there is the shortest, most direct route; any other path is taking the long way round. Sometimes when traveling the long way round is preferable, better scenery, more interesting sights, friends along the way, etc. When we are suffering however, this is never the case, yet it is exactly what most people do! Spiritually the long way round should be avoided like the plague, yet most dawdle along rehashing their story with anyone who will listen, engaging in angry recrimination while wallowing in morbid reflection. Only when we place our feet squarely on the path, raising our consciousness above the trouble by turning in prayer, resisting the temptation to outline for God the solution, seeking only the knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out do we triumph. God can and will solve all our problems and difficulties, if we will rely upon Him. Therefore, when troubled, take the road less traveled, thinking of God immediately, avoiding the “the long way round” of resentment, suffering, blame and morbid reflection.
