Guard Your Heart

GUARD YOUR HEART!

We have many things in our lives that keep us safe and protected from harm.  

From the clothes we wear to protect us from the elements to the various things in our homes, cars, and jobs, like locks, safety glass, and fire-retardant materials, we are surrounded by protection and security. 

It’s so common and a part of our culture that we seldom think about it. 

What about our hearts?  

I don’t mean the healthy food we are supposed to eat and the daily exercise we are supposed to participate in that keeps out tickers physically healthy. 

What are we doing to protect our hearts from the worldly influences that can cause us to make bad decisions based on illusions of material things that spark the pride and greed of our self -will?  

How are you guarding your heart from these influences?.. 

Check your experience… 

“Here was something at work in a human heart which had done the impossible.” Big Book pg. 11 

Lord, let us guard our hearts from the illusions of this world by focusing on Your Will, Word, and Truth, AMEN.

Don't Worry About Anything

Why worry?.. 

Schedules conflict, appointments run long, and our responsibilities never seem to end! 

Now maybe it’s different for you but when I find myself, as I often do, mentally leaving the present situation because my mind wants me to start focusing on where it thinks I should be according to the “plan”, I must remind myself that this is where I need to be and now is where my focus needs to be. 

Wringing my hands, pacing, checking my watch, calendar, or phone, won’t move the time any faster. 

I have learned that the root cause of all of this for me is my fear-based mind’s desire to worry. 

The solution I must force myself at times to grab and hold onto is that God has me right here right now for His own reasons and I need to be awake and present in this moment and not lost in thoughts and worry over my day not matching up with my calendar. 

Worry won’t change a thing, except to make your present situation more uncomfortable… 

Check your experience… 

“Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake.” Big Book pg. 417 

Lord, let us trade in our worries for your grace and guidance, AMEN. 

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4: 6-7 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Got Mustard?

We gotta supply the mustard...

There is a good story about prayer I learned long ago. 

It's a reflective question and goes something like this; 

If you sit in a dark closet all alone and pray for a hot dog, will God bring you one? 

Now unless you live under a rock you know the obvious answer is no. 

Hopefully your prayers give you the willingness to get up and provide your own action to go and get the hot dog. 

This concept is applicable to other things in our lives. 

Prayer opens our heart to provide the actions and efforts on our part needed to bring about the changes we are seeking. 

When my actions and efforts match what I am praying for, good things happen…

"Faith without works is dead." Big Book pg. 88 

Lord, please remind us that You can and will answer prayers, but we must supply the willingness in our efforts and actions, AMEN. 

“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also, faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” James 2: 14-17 

Have a blessed day Y'all!
