THOUGHTS & STUFF

God's Promise to Noah
“While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, . . . Shall not cease.”

Jesus' Promise to His Disciples
"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your lap."

A Universe of Increase

When God created His universe, He put into every part it a Law of Increase. Since the moment before time that God said, "Let there be light" and the universe exploded into billions of stars and planets, it has been continually increasing itself with ever-expanding matter, space, and time. Multiplication upon multiplication. A thousand giving birth to ten thousand, and ten thousand giving birth to ten million.

Upon this earth, every seed of every kind planted anywhere in the right soil gives back multiplications of itself—always increasing, never decreasing. It matters not what the seed—physical, material, mental, emotional, spiritual—the Law of Increase is the same for each of them.

How Much Corn Is There In a Kernel of Corn?

It's corn time in the country and you're having barbequed corn and other stuff. Now consider this: You can count the number of kernels on an ear of corn, about 800 on an average ear, but if you take a knife and cut open one of the kernels, can you count how much corn is in the kernel?

Each kernel has the ability to produce a corn stalk with at least one large ear that has about 800 kernels on it.  Each of those kernels, in turn, has the ability to produce a corn stalk with one large ear of about 800 kernels, and so on. Now if I plant one kernel of corn here in the good soil of Ohio, and then plant the resulting 800 kernels next year, and then the 640,000 kernels the next, and keep on doing that, in not too many years I would cover the entire state with corn—all grown from my original one kernel.

Listen, God started with only two human beings and look at how many people are on the earth today. Billions today, zillions tomorrow.

Now Here's the Crux of the Matter

What is it that you want or need? Whatever it is, start planting the seed of that thing now. Do you want more faith, then start planting seeds of faith by using whatever faith you now have in whatever way you can. Toward the end of his life, George Mueller said that it was now easier for him to believe God for $10,000 than it had been for $5 in the beginning.

Do you want success, then start planting seeds of success in your mind—think success and nothing but success. "As a person thinks in her heart, so is she" (Proverbs 23:7). Seeds of success planted in your conscious mind will send roots down into your subconscious (heart) and begin to draw nutrients of success from the abundance of the universe. Soon you'll find confidence of success and knowledge of how to attain it growing within you, and you'll increasingly do those things that will make you successful.

God's Laws Never Fail

God's universal Laws of Increase and Abundance never fail, and neither does His Law of Attraction. This law says that you attract to yourself whatever you think about most often. Consider—haven't you found this to be true in your life time and again?  Something you had been thinking about over and over suddenly happened to you, and you thought, "What a coincidence!"

No, it wasn't a coincidence, you drew that happening to yourself by your repeated thoughts about it. Without realizing it, you activated the Law of Attraction that God put into the universe for us so that we could be what He wanted us to be and do the things He wanted us to do. Problem is, most folks don't know about it, and because 80% of human thoughts are negative, we attract to ourselves things we don't want. So let's start going the other way with it.

Three universal laws: The Law of Abundance, the Law of Increase, and the Law of Attraction. What could we accomplish, and what could we become, if we used them the way God intended us to use them?

Yogi Berra
If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Unknown
Don't wait till the iron is hot to strike—but make it hot by striking. Few of us are smart enough to remember all we know. Never use a weakness to excuse lack of achievement. All his life, Lord Nelson, England's famous naval hero who destroyed Napoleon's fleet, suffered from seasickness. Most of us can do more than we think we can, but usually do less than we think we have.
