In the Grip?

Get a grip… 

There is a big difference between being in the grip and in getting a grip. 

When something has a grip on us, like an illness, we are almost powerless over it until it releases us. 

However, when we get a grip on something, like our Spiritual life, we control the effect it has on us through our motives and efforts. 

Experience along with good counsel from many wiser than me has taught me to get a grip on my Spiritual life instead of remaining in the grip of the worldly clamors of pride, anger, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, and sloth. (PAGLEGS) 

How’s this working out for you? 

As always, please ….check your experience… 

 “It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do.” Big Book pg. 85 

Lord, let us get a grip on our relationship with You through time in Your Word and prayer, AMEN. 

“With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter.” 2Thessalonians 2:15 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Hole in Our Heart

Trying to fill that hole in our hearts… 

Have you ever noticed that in certain times of trial or stress, no matter how much thought, effort, and will you give it, it just doesn’t seem enough? 

Or perhaps you are struggling with that empty feeling and no matter what you attempt to do or use to overcome it, the hole remains. 

That hole is in our hearts and no amount of food, relationships, material things, booze, drugs, or any other man-made solution will fill it. 

That is Jesus knocking on the doors of your heart asking to come in. 

Perhaps you invited Him in long ago but, like the well-worn pair of shoes in the back part of the closet, you leave them there but no longer use them. 

When we have a daily relationship with Christ, much like our daily relationships with our loved ones, the hole in our hearts gets filled and we become complete... 

Check your experience… 

“There had been a humble willingness to have Him with me -- and He came.” Big Book pg 12 

Lord, let us look to You to fill the hole in our hearts, AMEN. 

“You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes!” Haggai 1: 4-6

Clear Headed

Clear-headed… 

Most of us are busy these days trying to live life on life’s terms. 

From the jobs we have that provide the income that helps us to have homes to live in, food to eat, and things our families need, to the demands on our time to be available for our spouses, children, parents, friends, and family members; we are constantly busy. 

It’s probably different for you, but one thing I have to constantly watch myself on is to stay engaged and not be “asleep at the wheel”., and not just go through the motions without mentally being present. 

I have learned the hard way that when I fall into this trap, not only do I miss out on what is happening but also the activity in my head fails to match up with the present. 

I have learned to stay clear-headed by focusing on the here and now and being present. 

This keeps my thoughts on what I am currently doing and my head clear of all the other things it wants me to think about instead. 

How’s this working out for you?.. 

Check your experience… 

“Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.” Big Book pg. 86 

Lord, let us keep our minds and hearts clear so we can be present in the moment, AMEN. 

 “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.” 1 Thessalonians 5:6 

 Have a blessed day Y’all!
