I was about to leave my workplace, and couldn’t find my keys. It’s a large building, and I had been all over it the past hour with keys in hand.
I quickly searched the compartments of my purse in my office, and then spent the next hour scouring the building and retracing my steps, convinced that I must have unconsciously laid the keys down somewhere outside the office, and then failed to pick them up. After I was unable to find them, I realized I needed to cast my net (figuratively) “on the right side,” as Jesus instructed his disciples to do when they’d failed to catch any fish (see John 21:1–6). In other words, change course, and approach this from the standpoint of thought, rather than external circumstances.
What was in thought?
