God is my strength. Vision is His gift.
The idea for today combines two very powerful thoughts, both of major importance. ²It also sets forth a cause and effect relationship that explains why you cannot fail in your efforts to achieve the goal of the course. ³You will see because it is the Will of God. ⁴It is His strength, not your own, that gives you power. ⁵And it is His gift, rather than your own, that offers vision to you.
God is indeed your strength, and what He gives is truly given. ²This means that you can receive it any time and anywhere, wherever you are, and in whatever circumstance you find yourself. ³Your passage through time and space is not at random. ⁴You cannot but be in the right place at the right time. ⁵Such is the strength of God. ⁶Such are His gifts.
…think of nothing except thoughts that occur to you in relation to the idea for the day.
²You may, in fact, be astonished at the amount of course-related understanding some of your thoughts contain.
²Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come.
²The idea for the day is a beginning step in bringing thoughts together, and teaching you that you are studying a unified thought system in which nothing is lacking that is needed, and nothing is included that is contradictory or irrelevant. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 42, W-42.1:1–2:6;4:3;5:2;6:2;7:2. See also ACIM Lesson 42 Insights.)
Whenever we are feeling uncertain, we are denying God’s gift of all of His strength. God is not uncertain and He shares His certainty with His Creation. His vision sees only His Love. Nothing else exists. His Love is absolutely certain because it is wholly unified and always the same. When we accept His gift of vision, we see what He sees — Love and nothing else.
Uncertainty comes when we have accepted barriers to Love in our mind. The Course is teaching us how to let go of these barriers to remember only Love is real. In this remembrance we experience the peace of God.
