I often share with others that I’ve discovered how to shape my future, creating a reality that ultimately reflects back to me through my relationships with people and the things around me. In the past, I was told that worry was unnecessary because God is in control of everything. However, no one explained to me that God isn’t just the Creator who set everything into motion, but also the Divine Artist actively recreating and reshaping reality through His spoken promises. When God speaks, He doesn’t merely issue commands; He brings forth goodness. His words resemble powerful spells, cast with divine craftsmanship—promises made with authority and then fulfilled, shaping the universe according to His divine will and desires. Over time, I came to realize a simple yet profound truth: salvation begins when I set aside those dark, troubling thoughts—placing them in a metaphorical box—and instead focus my attention on God by immersing myself in the illumination of Scripture. Initially, this was a difficult process—letting go of old habits and familiar worries felt like trying to extinguish a comforting fire that had long burned within me. But now, I see that genuine transformation doesn’t come from fighting these tendencies directly; instead, it’s about choosing to ignore them and turning my focus toward God’s gentle whisper through His Word. I have spent most of my life living within the confines of my own mind. There was a time when I was painfully sensitive about the relationships I treasured, replaying conversations long after they had ended, agonizing over words spoken and unspoken, questioning whether I had made mistakes. It’s strange—early in my spiritual journey, I learned to find comfort in regret and shame, as if these burdens were woven into my very being. Looking back, I realize how destructive that mindset was—like a storm cloud darkening my spirit and blocking out the light of hope. Gradually, I began to find joy in how God speaks to me through Scripture, experiencing His love not just as a distant concept but as a living, ongoing conversation. Though I cannot read minds, I can sense the undercurrents beneath people’s words—their true intentions, their hidden preoccupations. Most people are consumed with daily tasks, plans, and goals, often unaware of how their lives align—sometimes unconsciously—with what God has spoken in His secret counsel. When I share how I’ve learned to think differently, I often encounter criticism—accusations of irresponsibility, laziness, or distraction. There was a time I grew frustrated with such reactions, but now I see that my way of thinking is like a home—a sanctuary of comfort that aligns deeply with my core motives, allowing me to find meaning and purpose in everything I do. Many of us live in a state of disconnection, unaware of how our lives are often subtly aligned—without us realizing—with what God has spoken in secret. It’s similar to the enchantment of fairy tales: stories where spells are cast and the impossible becomes real. We love stories of redemption, luck, and miracles because they resonate with something deep within us. When God’s Word appears as a divine spell—an act of creation—are we simply challenged to obey, or does His love compel Him to bring those promises to pass? I believe there is an almost mystical magic at work—an unseen force that moves God through His spoken Word, stirring our motives and igniting within us a profound sense of being loved beyond what we can comprehend. This understanding creates a deep tension in how most people approach planning and action. Many hold an almost magical belief that merely pronouncing God’s promises can influence outcomes—a kind of divine incantation. I can’t fully explain how it functions, but I do know that it stirs my soul, filling me with the certainty that God’s love surpasses all I can imagine. It causes me to see that the events of my life are less about natural order and more about how God, in His sovereignty, will bring good out of even the most difficult circumstances. Even my failures and mistakes are not out of place—they are part of a divine learning process, necessary steps within His grand design. In this unity, I find peace: knowing that every moment—whether joyful or painful—is woven into the divine tapestry, where God’s spoken Word is the thread that holds everything together in love.
