Is This All There Is?

Consider a football game. It’s third down with 9 yards to go to get a first down. Will the team make it, or will they have to punt it away? Will the quarterback pass it to someone down field, or will they try to run it? And oh, by the way, there are less than 2 minutes to play and no time outs left. Feel the drama and tension?

Now consider what could be called “the money game.” It’s the 20th day of the month. The rent or mortgage is due on the first, and according to your checkbook balance, you are $500 short. What will you do? I expect you would do your prayer work. State the truth that you are abundant and that Spirit is your Source; release the treatment work and let it be so. State and restate your affirmations throughout the days and nights, reminding yourself of your truth, and make a mad dash to the mailbox each day to see if your manifestation comes that way. Or race for the phone whenever it rings to see if that is someone with the way that your good will come to you. Ultimately, Spirit does what Spirit does, you have the money to make the payment, and all is well. Until the 20th of the next month, when you start all over again.

Who made up the rules to these two games that sound suspiciously similar? Football is what football is, but is there some way to change the rules of this adventure that we call “the money game” so we can get off and stay off this roller coaster?
