The teacher asked a little boy: Teacher: Tommy do you see the tree outside? Do you see the grass outside? Tommy: Yes. Teacher: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky. Tommy: Ok. (He returned a few minutes later.) Yes, I saw the sky. Teacher: Did you see God? Tommy: No. Teacher: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. Teacher agreed and she asked the boy: Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the tree outside? Do you see the sky? Tommy: Yesssss (getting tired of the questions by this time.) Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the teacher? Tommy: Yes. Little Girl: Do you see her brain? Tommy: No. Little Girl: Does that mean she doesn't have one?—Author unknown. Romans 1:20 "There are things about God that people cannot see—his external power and all the things that make him God.

You cannot talk defeat and expect victory. Your life is going to follow your thoughts. "As he thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7 NKJV). When I still lived at home, my Mother told me, "If you can't say something good about someone, don't say anything at all." Don't talk about the size of your problem, talk about the size of your God. Invite God's blessings. Your faith unlocks God's blessings. "According to your faith, will it be done to you" (Matthew 9:29 NIV). When negative thoughts come to mind— let them die stillborn.
