WHICH OF YOU BY TAKING THOUGHT CAN ADD ONE CUBIT UNTO HIS STATURE? MATTHEW 6:27
Your obedient action and His thought (also includes His action) can do a miracle in your life.
Here under is the formula:
YOUR OBEDIENT ACTION + HIS THOUGHT(INCLUDING HIS ACTION)= SUCCESS (MIRACLE)
Let us see some instances from the Bible to understand this further:
Case1:
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Matthew 14:28-30
In the above instance, Peter asked Our Lord Jesus to give him a command to walk on the water and reach Him and the Lord told him to come. Here, Peter’s thought to walk on water is accepted by the Lord and it has become our Lord’s THOUGHT too. After receiving the permission from the Lord, he started his action moving on water. But, soon after looking at the wind boisterous, he was afraid and beginning to sink in the water. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught (HIS ACTION) him and saved Peter.
Peter action walking on the water is possible only with the help of the Lord. Peter’s desire to walk on the water could not have happened without (a) action of peter (b) the thought and help of the Lord. Only your thoughts can not yield anything.
Case 2:
And there were set there six water pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. John 2:6-7
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine… John 2:9
Consider the above verses, when there was shortage of wine in the marriage of Cana, the thought to fill the water into the six water pots of stone was given by the Lord. The servants were told to fill the water. The obedient action of the servants and the thought of the Lord worked a miracle there.
There are many other instances, where you may see this working. In view of the above simple examples, you may understand-
(a) Lord’s thought (not your thought)
(b) Your obedient action to follow his thought results a miracle
Therefore, take no thought for the cares of this world and always ask his thought and work accordingly to see an answer for your problems. Remember- “As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:4”
