God's Plan For Man Final

overwhelming, but each of us must consider why that may or may not be true. We must understand the spiritual dynamics are much more intense, and we too must work through all the problems of life. We must be grateful to God, and we must willingly participate in a Divine plan—not the plan the world offers. Our lives seem much easier having all the modern conveniences and worldly pleasures of every kind, but in fact our lives are much more difficult. As we near the time of the final victory, it will be harder to abandon the luxuries for a simpler way of life. Purification, or the concept, played a major part in the ancient religions, because purification is a preferred state. To be pure and free from disease is a safe, healthy way of life; otherwise we subject ourselves to a destructive force.

To such extent we must seek wisdom, and pursue it day and night. Treasure wisdom as it comes to mind. Accept whatever is extended and respond with a grateful heart and mind. God beckons to all of humanity. However, the beckoning comes in a slight inference, so we must listen very carefully as the spirit within will reply or respond by desire. The mind is an arena where we/you process thought, but we don’t originate thought. If you feel this is incorrect try to share an original thought with someone close to you. You won’t be able to unless God has provided an original thought. Einstein and others have expressed original thought, because they certainly didn’t originate those special thoughts. So, thought comes in the form of motivational promptings, and it can come from two sources. One source is positive and the other source
