I saw God today in a conversation with a client.
It was simple small talk. About Volleyball of all things. My daughter plays. His daughter plays.
He didn't know it, but what he was saying, I needed to hear. To be reminded of.
He was talking about how volleyball is really a "mind" game.
It's more of a battle of the mind, than a physical battle. He was saying that the players who have the ability to regain focus quickly after making an error, are the ones who do the best.
You have to leave it behind, and focus clearly and confidently on what is happening now.
Push the reset button on your brain.
I believe it's the same in life. We can't wallow in negativity. Or constant complaining. Or constant regret.
We need to look for the positive in situations, things to be thankful for instead of things to curse, and fix our minds on that.
The Bible says it like this:
Philippians 4:8
summing it all up friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious, the best, not the worst, the beautiful, not the ugly, things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.
Thankful for the reminder that the enemy wants to steal our joy, and that battle primarily takes place in the mind.
Thankful for the way the Lord spoke to my heart. In a much deeper way than just speaking to me about volleyball.
Thankful that in the middle of doing normal everyday life....I saw God today.
