Choose Your Imagination

My friend and I chatted on instant message last night.  We talked about design ideas for her laundry room.  She i.m.'d her excitement at possibly choosing a new color scheme for this area.  I could feel her excitement and encouraged her to "choose her imagination," I typed.  After noticing my error, I quickly typed "use" in an effort to correct my mistake.  However, in this instance "choose" seemed to fit.  We laughed (LOL) at how God used a  simple mindless error to get our attention.

As with many of you, my friend and I are experiencing trying times.  Our individual trials can seem insurmountable and at times we are tempted to imagine an ungodly outcome.  You see we do "choose" our imagination. 

As I sat in the hair salon today, I was in awe of how God once again reminded me that I have  choice.  The book that I read while I waited referenced 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5(KJV).

 3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

We choose what we focus on.  We choose what we believe to be true.  So I encourage you as I am encouraged, to "choose" your imagination. 

Get creative.  Think the best.  What will you choose to imagine?
