Faith it until you make it… 


We use faith in one form or another in many situations daily. 

For instance, when we touch a light switch, we naturally assume without much thought that the light will come on. 

Oh sure, a few of us, BUT NOT ME, have engineering degrees and understand all of the mechanics and physics involved in this simple act, but for the most part, folks like me trust that the light will just turn on. 

It’s the same experience in my car every time I turn the key to start it or apply the brakes while driving. 

I have faith, based on my previous experiences, that these actions will bring the desired results. 

The more I experience something, the stronger my faith is. 

It’s the same with our spiritual life. 

The more we spend time in the Word and with Jesus, the stronger our faith grows. 

We can’t buy faith, but we can surely grow it!.. 

Check your experience… 

“In this book, you read again and again that faith did for us what we could not do for ourselves.” Big Book pg. 70 

Lord, let us grow our faith through daily contact with You and time in Your Word, AMEN. 

 “For we live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 

 Have a blessed day Y’all

Join me in looking at the things we face daily with passages from both the Big Book and Bible!

Ours for the asking… 

We have to work in some form or fashion for just about everything in life. 

Obviously, we work to provide for our families, and we work at getting things we want and like. 

We even work on ourselves, physically, mentally, and spiritually in order to keep healthy. 

One of the things that we don’t have to work for is God’s, unconditional love. 

He chose us and it’s ours for the asking! 

However, we must work to build a relationship with Him in order to grow in Christ and know His will. 

How is this working out for you?.. 

Check your experience… 

“God either is or He isn't. What was our choice to be?” Big Book pg 53 

Lord, thank You for choosing us and allowing us the opportunity for Your grace and everlasting life, AMEN. 

 “You have not chosen Me, I have chosen you. I have set you apart for the work of bringing in fruit. Your fruit should last. And whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you.” John 15:16 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

 Becoming teachable...

Remember the last time you were able to lay aside your preconceived notions, expectations, and self-made opinions in order to truly learn something new? 

Yeah, it's been a while for me too! 

Part of having free will and becoming an adult is this magic magnifying mind that we have that likes to unconsciously grow and feed from our perceptions and experiences. 

It tries to predict situations for us as well as attempts to harden our hearts through our own self-made assessments and judgments. 

Until we stop this process and set aside the ability and power it has over us, we cease to truly grow spiritually. 

 Kids don't have this. 


They look at us with wide eyes and open minds thirsty to learn. 

It's only when we can open our minds willingly in this manner can God truly teaches us and fill our hearts with His Spirit and wisdom. 


Are you still willing and able to be teachable? ...

Check your experience. ... 

"But after a while, we had to face the fact that we must find a spiritual basis of life or else." Big Book pg 44 


Lord let us set aside our own thoughts and become teachable like a child for Your Word, AMEN. 


"He said: I tell you the truth unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
