God Is the Strength in Which I Trust

Mary:
This morning as I go to Spirit, the first thought that comes to me is, “God is the strength in which I trust” (from A Course in Miracles). This helped straighten my mind because before I was finding myself thinking about all the details of moving, including where to put the trash can in the small kitchen that we are moving to.

God is the strength in which I trust reminds me once again to take all things to Him instead of trying to figure things out on my own. This is my practice today: Letting “God is the strength in which I trust” be my response to every worldly concern the ego mind comes up with. As I say, “God is the strength in which I trust,” repeatedly there comes with it a feeling of softness, a feeling of gentleness, a feeling of inner comfort. “God is the strength in which I trust” brings with a feeling of peace and quiet that stills the ego’s constant chatter.

I have an important job to do today and that is to place my trust in God instead of the ego’s problem-solving schemes. I just have one thing to remember today, again and again: “God is the strength in which I trust.”

Robert:
Today we read A Course in Miracles Workbook lesson 152, “The power of decision is my own.” This lesson makes it explicitly clear that everything I experience in the world is the effect of my decision. To the ego this is a radical thought that brings up fear because the ego equates responsibility with guilt. But ACIM makes it clear that the perception of separation in any form is not cause for guilt, but simply an indication of a need for correction. It also makes it clear that correction is not punishment but a change of mind.

We each carry in our minds the great Corrector, the Holy Spirit, that is ready and willing to offer us the correction we need. We need only be willing to bring our thoughts and beliefs to the great Corrector to receive the clear vision that shows us the truth and shines away the false. I am grateful that, no matter how many times I revert back to making decisions on my own, the Holy Spirit patiently waits for my willingness to let Him decide on my behalf. His decisions are always loving and always lead me toward the full recognition of the Self that I am, along with all my brothers.

Today is another gift, an opportunity to practice following Holy Spirit’s lead. With this practice I will learn to see a world forgiven, a world that reflects the changeless Love of God.
