Always on man’s pathway is his message or his lead.

For example: A woman was much troubled over an unhappy situation. She thought to herself, “Will it ever clear up?”

Always on man’s pathway is his message or his lead.

Her maid was standing near and commenced to tell her of her experiences. The woman was too worried to be interested but listened patiently. The maid was saying: “I worked in a hotel once where there was a very amusing gardener, he always said such funny things. It had been raining for three days and I said to him: ‘Do you think it will ever clear up?’ And he replied, ‘My God, doesn’t it always clear up?’”

The woman was amazed! It was the answer to her thoughts. She said reverently, “Yes, with my God it always clears up!” Soon after, her problem did clear up in an unexpected way.

AFFIRMATIONS

Infinite Spirit, give me wisdom to make the most of my opportunities. Never let me miss a trick.

I am always under direct inspiration. I know just what to do and give instant obedience to my intuitive leads.

My angel of destiny goes before me, keeping me in the Way.

All power is given unto me to be meek and lowly of heart.

I am willing to come last, therefore, I come first!

I now place my personal will upon the altar.

Your will, not my will; Your way not my way; Your time not my time—and in the twinkling of an eye it is done!

There are no mysteries in the Kingdom. Whatever I should know will now be revealed to me, under grace.

I am a perfect non-resistant instrument for God to work through, and His perfect plan for me now comes to pass in a Magic way.

In brief

Guidance is always present on the path. Read the summaryHide the summary

Guidance is always present on the path. Every person's message or lead is already there, and it often comes through the most ordinary channel. Shinn tells of a woman troubled over an unhappy situation who silently asks whether it will ever clear up. Her maid, chatting idly, repeats a gardener's reply to the same question about three days of rain: "doesn't it always clear up?" The woman takes the words as her answer, affirms that with her God it always clears up, and soon after her problem clears up in an unexpected way. The affirmations that follow ask for wisdom to seize every opportunity, for instant obedience to intuitive leads, and for the surrender of personal will, so that the divine plan comes to pass in a Magic way.

Key ideas

  • The lead you need is always already on your pathway, waiting to be noticed.
  • Guidance often comes through casual words spoken by someone near you, even words you are too worried to want to hear.
  • When a message answers your thought, receive it reverently and claim it as your own word of faith.
  • Instant obedience to intuitive leads keeps you in the Way.
  • Shinn teaches that placing the personal will upon the altar makes you a non-resistant instrument through which the perfect plan unfolds.
