Idea of the Month
Every month, we provide an idea to contemplate and discuss. Please feel free to share your views of the Idea of the Month on our Blog.
The February Idea of the Month is:
Putting God First
What exactly does that mean?
For one thing, it means turn your troubles over to God.
As we discussed in this month's eNewsletter, the "Golden Key" exercise, created by Emmet Fox, is one way of putting God first. In the "Golden Key" you consciously stop obsessing about a certain difficulty and think only of God. Like a mantra for meditation, repeat in your mind what you think God is. Don't think about your problem, don't try to tell God what the solution should be. Just think of God.
What this does, even for just the few minutes that you do it, is cause you to stop giving your problem power. The more thought-power you put into the worrying, obsessing, wallowing in the problem, the more you keep it alive. By thinking of God, but putting God first and foremost in your mind, you are letting the Infinite Intelligence of God solve the problem. You are letting the Divine Wisdom of God enter into the process of creating the solution.
Try the "Golden Key" on something that needs resolution. It works! It worked for me recently! Then share it with us on our blog or Facebook page.
