August 29, 2021 – ALL OF GOD IS MY INHERITANCE

AUGUST 29

ALL OF GOD IS MY INHERITANCE

Wisdom is good with an inheritance; and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

Ecclesiastes 7:11

He who created me, acts through me. He has never loosed me from His eternal embrace.  Infinite Mind is my father, and Infinite Love is my mother.  Unto me, their beloved creation, they have given fully of themselves.  All power in heaven and on earth is mine, for my inheritance is incorruptible.  I may not believe this at times, but it is the truth. Though I let my human mind deceive me, still the Heavenly Presence enfolds me, knowing that I shall awaken to Truth.  Too long have I dreamed that the world could hurt me and people disturb me.  I now realize that I am a Son of God, and free to live with wisdom and plenty.

Health is my inheritance.  Divine mind is incapable of knowing other than strength and wholeness.  The Health that created me acts through me.  Pure life flows through my body, as pure thinking flows through my mind.  I inherit every tendency to perfect living.

Prosperity is my inheritance.  Around me is all of God; within me are the unlimited resources of Mind.  The bounty and fullness of Spirit are mine this day and forevermore.  I accept this abundance and use it with wisdom. 

Ideas are my inheritance.  Infinite Mind sustains Its creations in all their ways.  I have unlimited ideas of good to express. I always know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.  Never a hesitation on my part, for God has revealed right action for every moment.  With this inheritance I am always well and prosperous.  The riches if this universe invite me to partake of their goodness, and I accept them with joy. 

August 28, 2021 – MY UNIVERSE IS FLEXIBLE

AUGUST 28   

MY UNIVERSE IS FLEXIBLE

Jesus Christ the same yesterday; and today and forever.

Hebrews 13:8

Change is the law of human experience, for only God is permanent.  The Infinite mind is forever conceiving new ideas, and the Infinite law is forever producing new forms.  In the midst of this flexibility I live, move and have my being.  Life is consciousness flowing through forms, but never restricted by forms.  Therefore, the situations in my world cannot restrict me for long.  The instant I think a new thought, a new form begins to appear.  Every static condition in my life must be the result of my failure to think new thoughts.  I now dedicate myself to spiritual flexibility.

Freely and joyously I let life flow through my experience, bringing new events to pass.  Situations and people come into my life to bless me, and in their own season go forth from my life blessed by me.  I am a growing consciousness in God, and better conditions are constantly appearing for me to appreciate.  As I let go of the old, the new appears.  As I seek a larger group of friends, I grow in the expression of Love.  As I visit new places and purchase new things, I expand my consciousness.

I let go of prejudices and fixed opinions.  I am willing to see God’s action in every man.  I pass no judgments, and I refuse all finalities.  I open my whole being to changes for the better.  I also allow my friends to change and enjoy the new experiences in their lives.  I am flexible and pliant to all forms of Good.  God is continuously bringing new ideas into my mind, and new events to my world.  This is the joy of living.  I am free to change into a greater person, and I now let God’s greatness manifest in me.

August 27, 2021 – I ENJOY LIFE TODAY

AUGUST 27

I ENJOY LIFE TODAY

The Infinite is the source of joy.  There is no joy in the finite.  Only in the infinite is there joy.  Ask to know the Infinite.

Chandogya Upanishad

Omnipresence surrounds me; omniscience inspires me; and omnipotence is mine to direct.  All things bless me, and all people benefit me.  I look out upon my universe and love it, for He who made it indwells it.  He that made me, acts through me with ease, for I let God be in me all that He desires for me.  God’s vision of me as a perfect expression of life is my vision of myself.  There is nothing to cause me to feel regret or sorrow, for I recognize but one Mind – God.  I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that good is my only experience today.

It is as easy to be joyous, as it is to be sad.  It is as easy to think of God, as it is to think of trouble. I devote my consciousness to joyous ideas, and I experience happiness in my world.  When others point out to me their troubles, I immediately correct my thought and proclaim order and right action.  I never hesitate to declare the Truth.  He who hesitates to speak Truth is lost in untruth.  I speak positively, yet lovingly. I stand firmly for what I know is Truth, and I am not afraid to say so.  Never again will I indulge in false sympathy, or a belief that evil has power.  God alone rules my life with His joyous activity of ideas.

I am divinely enthusiastic about the possibilities of the present.  All of God is for me, and things are turning my way.  Life offers me all that I can take.  Beauty seeks my eyes, and love seeks my heart.  I give all glory and all honor to God, and there is nothing but gladness in my soul.  My feet are planted on holy ground, and the whole universe invites me to enjoy the game of life.  Right thinking is my greatest asset.  Right living is my true vocation.  I love to live the life which is God.

August 26, 2021 – GOD GIVES OF HIMSELF THROUGH ME

AUGUST 26  

GOD GIVES OF HIMSELF THROUGH ME

To be in accord with the eternal means to be enlightened.

The Tao Te Ching

All that God is, man can reveal in his individual world.  All the ideas of Good are within man’s consciousness seeking outlets through him.  Knowing this, I now behold myself as a distributing center of Divine Activity.  I know that Truth comes to me in order that I shall release it in my world and be a blessing to my fellowman.  I accept this joyous responsibility, and the words of my mouth are henceforth acceptable to God and to man.  Each sentence I utter is potent with Love, Wisdom and Goodness.  I speak the Christ word with poise, assurance and power.

Through the meditations of my heart I give Truth to my loved ones, friends and fellow employees.  I think of the Ideas of God, and with a refreshed mind I release these thoughts in scientific prayer to all whom I know.  I contemplate health, abundance and peace, and know these belong to every man.  I definitely direct my thoughts to bless and heal my companions along the way.  I let myself be a channel of healing, an instrument of the Almighty. Divine Love in the midst of me is released by me in vision.  From the Divine Center within me Love flows out through my world, and the glory of God is made manifest in all whom I know.

The Holy Spirit of Right Action is my gift to every man this day.  Each person who meets me is seen rightly by me.  I see the good, the true and the perfect in him.  God’s Christ at the center of each soul calls to me for recognition and praise.  I give my silent acknowledgement of good to all, and they respond with joy.  Through me God gives of Himself, and nothing within me impedes this action.  I let God bless His world through me today.

August 25, 2021 – I HAVE PERFECT LIFE

AUGUST 25

I HAVE PERFECT LIFE

But thou art the same, and thy years have no end.

Psalm 102:27

The Life of God is the life of man, for there is only one Life.  This Life must be perfect, for It is the action of a perfect Intelligence and a beneficent Power.  The Mind which acts as Life, being a unity, could not conceive disease, for such would destroy its unity.  Therefore, Life is perfect, spiritual and eternal.  I am the expression of Life, so there can be nothing in me but perfect health at every instant.  Disease cannot operate in me, for I refuse to let it.  I recognize illness as unnecessary and a failure on my part to know my life as the Life of God.

I believe in One God, so all life must be one Life.  There cannot be a sick life and a well life.  There is only one life, acting in one way, as health, vitality and freedom of action.  This is my life now, and I rejoice in it.  My body is eternally made new by it, and my consciousness is eternally refreshed by it.  Every cell that is not perfectly expressing God’s Life is now cleaned, renewed and restored by my right thought about Life.

Life cannot know age; It does not measure time.  Life can only act in my body in one way, as health.  Life, being greater than I and wiser than I, cannot be defeated by my wrong thinking.  It always is Itself, and upon my recognition, It becomes Its perfect health in me.  This is now true, and my health is permanent and complete.  My thought is dedicated to health, and my emotions respond to health.  Regardless of all so-called material causation of disease, I stand firmly in mind on the platform of health.  I refuse to believe that any situation or condition can make me ill.  God is my health, now and forevermore.

August 24, 2021 – THE ACTION OF GOD FILLS MY LIFE

AUGUST 24        

THE ACTION OF GOD FILLS MY LIFE

The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

Proverbs 20:27

 There is a purpose and a plan in all creation.  The Divine Intelligence has always known what It was doing.  It now knows why It created me, and It is urging me to fulfill my destiny.  All of the action of God is where I am, and is in action through me at every instant.  What I need is seeking me.  What I want, I now have, for all of God is mine, Infinite Mind acts in fullness through Its creation, and I am impelled to right action.

This perfect action of Mind within me governs and directs me in pathways of blessedness.  All health is flowing through me.  God’s health is complete, and I am incapable of experiencing disease.  Vitality quickens my body, and my strength is unlimited.  Fatigue cannot operate in me today.  I am strong in the Truth, and I am vitalized by It.  I accept the perfect action of God as health, and I radiate this to others.  My strength is sufficient for every demand of life.

Prosperity is the full action of God in my world of affairs.  Business is good, for business is the circulatory action of Ideas.  I accept money as an activity of the Spirit, and I use it with wisdom. I accept the freedom which money gives to me.  I rejoice in an inflow and an outflow of money.  God’s Ideas circulate in my consciousness, and God’s money circulates through my affairs.  Divine Inspiration gives me an alertness to new ideas, and a keenness of discernment.  My business activities are established in wisdom, expansion and abundance.

The full action of God in my life is perfect peace.  The thoughts of God working in my consciousness maintain me in poise and harmony.  Order greets me wherever I go.  I am balanced by Truth, and the words that I speak give evidence of my conviction that God acts through me.

August 23, 2021 – I AM SPIRIT

AUGUST 23

I AM SPIRIT

I have breathed into many of My spirit.

The Koran

The image and likeness of God must be a perfect expression of Spirit, and I am that expression now.  Therefore, I use my body with wisdom, but I am not limited by it.  It is effect and not cause.  God’s true knowledge of me is that I am a spiritual being using body as a vehicle.  The Spirit within me is now in full control of my body.  It renews it, repairs it, and glorifies it.  My body responds to these spiritual ministrations, and is radiant with health and vitality.

The Spirit within me inspires my mind with perfect ideas and true wisdom.  Its action in my subconscious is one of cleaning and healing.  It breathes through my consciousness the breath of life, and all fixed opinions are dissolved and dissipated.  My old ideas and patterns cannot control or limit Spirit.  God in the midst of me is the only real Power, Presence and Reality.  I let the indwelling perfect pattern of me be the truth of my mind today. All my mental and emotional processes now accept the orders and decisions of the Spirit, and I have perfect mental health.

I am a perfect spiritual being, living in a perfect spiritual body, and operating in a perfect spiritual universe. This is not merely an idea; it is the truth.  I am free from all false conditioning of matter or of mind. I am Spirit, and God alone is cause in my experience.  I accept this perfect concept of myself, and my whole being gives evidence of it.

August 22, 2021 – GOD TAKES CARE OF ME

AUGUST 22

GOD TAKES CARE OF ME

Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

Psalm 139:3

Omnipresence surrounds me, and Omniscience is mine.  Never for an instant does God separate Himself from his creation.  Always there is an abiding Presence and a beneficent Power.  I am forever established in my good, for wherever I am, there is the Law to produce it.  I am never forsaken and never alone.  As I turn in thought to God all love appears in my heart, and all peace acts in my mind. People unconsciously respond to the Christ within me and share their good with me.  I have Divine Protection all through the day and night.

There is nothing to fear, for Divine Intelligence is my inner security, and I am led in paths of blessings.  A loving Presence enfolds me and security not born of man is mine.  Never again will I fear the future, regret the past, or be anxious in the present.  I have absolute faith in the Power of God where I am, and wherever I may go.  “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”  Heaven is where I am, and God is my only reality.  The Truth has set me free of fear, and I walk undaunted the pathways of God.  Immersed in my good and aware of it, I laugh at fear and declare my faith.

The Spirit is within me as definite guidance and complete success.  I am protected from all evil, for Divine intelligence inspires me to right action.  God knows I am successful, healthy and peaceful.  I now join with God in knowing this.  All other human speculations are as nothing, for God alone is true, and success alone is possible.  I let God act in my world, and I know that Divine Love upholds me in righteousness and peace.  Always the Lord is at hand, yea, even within me.  I am blessed and sustained by the Christ within my soul.   

August 21, 2021 – THE LIGHT OF TRUTH IS MINE

AUGUST 21

THE LIGHT OF TRUTH IS MINE

God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

I John 1:5

The word light, as used in the Bible, is the symbol of spiritual illumination.  It is the inner capacity in men to perceive a Divine idea and to assimilate it into his consciousness.  Any idea assimilated into consciousness must then express in man’s experience.  I now claim that the Light of Truth is mine.  I am aglow with divine possibilities.  My mind is open to the influx of spiritual ideas, and I rejoice as they enter my mind and are assimilated into my consciousness.  I know that my world is filled with light, for there is only light within me to shine forth in it.

There can be no darkness, no fear and no depression in me, or in my experience, for God is the light of my life.  All evil is dispelled, and all Truth is revealed.  The Spirit within me is my sure guide to right action.  I live in light, for my mind is filled with light.  Ideas appear on time and in order, telling me what to do and when to do it.  With an illumined mind, I live with ease today.  All good appears within me and is projected from me.

This Light within me is shared with my friends.  I give them good counsel, great inspiration and helpful thoughts.  The Christ in me shines forth to quicken the Christ in them.  My only contribution to them is one of good.  No criticism, no pessimism, just the steadfast knowing the God takes care of them, and His Light is within them as their true guide.  Wherever I go I am a blessing to man and a joy to God.  The Light that lighteth every man is within me, and I share It with others.  I am spiritually illumined and I know Truth and give Truth today.
