GOOD DAY. Let us look at the dictionary definition of imagination.
-
the act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses or never before wholly perceived in reality
-
creative ability
-
the thinking or active mind :
Both from scriptures and secular use, imagination and thoughts are linked. Imagination is the pictorial form of the thought. If you can manage your thoughts, then you can manage your emotions. When you dwell on a thought long enough, it becomes your imagination. You analyze the world through that window of your imagination.
Years back like I said before, I was touched by this saying of Jesus:
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
Luke 12:22 KJV
‘take no thought’ which means we can handle our thoughts. Thoughts are spiritual tangibles that should be handled spiritually. Thoughts are words or ideas so you have the potential to take them just like you will take an object in nature. This is the foundation of Thought and Imagination management.
Our starting exercise is for us to get a pen and small notebook and write down every thought that gets to our consciousness today and daily from henceforth. This awareness is the foundation of Thought management. We are playing Thought Catching.
PRAY: Dear Lord, teach me how to catch my thoughts as they float out to my consciousness.
