Open rivers in high places, Fountains in the midst of valleys: The wilderness now a pool of water, and the Desert Place springs of water.

OF... MEN and MIS-TAKES... Thoughts and Things PART 1

    
Ex 2:12-13; so he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

Over and Over again, I keep hearing the chorus “the greatest battlefield is in the mind.” Seldom does it occur to me what exactly this battle is about and who exactly wins. Some say we often lose the battles but the greater cause is the War, the war for your SOUL… your Mind, will and Emotions…… YOUR SOUL: the greatest contributor to the things you do eventually….. Of thoughts and things….. Of seed and fruit….. When thoughts become things.

It’s amazing how a prince who is often looked after by the royal guard is convinced that at this opportune moment he may be all alone. Was his search to see if any one saw him only an outward one? Or could it be that he wondered internally, looking one way and the other desiring that he find a better way to deal with the fierce battle that raved on the inside. Haven’t you been in a place where despite the multitudes all around you, No one seems to be with you? You look this way to your Facebook and that way to your WhasApp and not one seems to resonate with you….

Don’t we often look this way internally (thoughts) and that way externally (things) when we are faced with the daily battles of life…You will catch me sited silently in one place yet often times I will be looking one way or the other seeking what next step I ought to take. It’s a very common point that life’s battles throw us in, the point where we search for the quickest way out, not because we picture the end in mind but rather consider it the best way to put the battle to and end so we could move on with OUR LIVES……

AND WHEN HE SAW NO ONE………. oh! What a common place this is that men arrive to when we look all around us. It is one thing to look around and it is another not to see any one… I am often convinced that my way is the right way AND surely!!! how many times I’ve been wrong on that. Do we see NO ONE because we have our minds made up already? Do we see no one because we think we can handle it all by ourselves? Are we in a rush to deal with it and MOVE ON? OR do we always think that our present situation is the 1st of it kind and No one will be of help...... 

What was a thought is now presented the chance to become a thing….. That very moment in our lives when we feel trapped in this Web and believe that only by ourselves do we have the capacity to make decisions……… after seeing no one, .......... HE KILLED THE EGYPTIAN AND HID HIM IN THE SAND….


To be continued…….
