Faith Over Fear

Faith or fear?..

It's the age-old problem that we face every day.

It comes seemingly from out of nowhere, but if not confronted immediately, our day can get hijacked with our thoughts taken hostage and our minds blinded by it. 

What is it? 

FEAR... 

OK, so maybe you are one of those invincible folks already so full of faith that fear has no way to get a grip inside of you. 

I wish I could say that, but I am human and without putting myself in check with faith each time a fear tries to crop up, I am a victim. 

Try this the next time you find yourself stepping on the gas out of fear of missing the light, or when your mind fills with words you feel you must immediately say, instead of listening to the conversation completely before it's your turn to speak...

I bet Y'all didn't consider those as a fear did you?..

RELAX and let your faith guide your mind!..

Check your experience...

"We think fear ought to be classed with stealing. It seems to cause more trouble." Big Book pg. 68

 Lord, quiet the fears in our minds with the Faith in our hearts, AMEN. 

 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Inside Attire

 Whatcha wearin' on the inside?..

I used to share this thought as part of a class lesson when I was on staff at the Salvation Army ARC in Sacramento...

You can wax, wash, shine, polish, and accessorize your car to its finest, but if you don't change the oil, keep the engine serviced, and keep quality fuel in the tank, you won't go anywhere and wind up with a fine-looking piece of junk...

The point is that if you don't maintain your engine (Spiritual condition) and inside mechanical parts (mental and emotional) that others cannot see, you will have junk, no matter how pretty or cool you look on the outside. 

How are you maintaining the Spiritual and mental parts of your life?.. 

Check your experience... 

"What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition." Big Book pg. 85 

Lord, let us enter your Spiritual gym daily to keep our heart, mind, and soul in fit condition, AMEN. 

"Your adornment must not be merely external . . . but let it be the hidden person of the heart." 1 Peter 3:3-4 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Hydrate Your Soul!

Don't drink the Kool-Aid, just drink the water... 

We buy products based on our experience. 

I have learned the hard way that a pretty package can be misleading. 

It's what's inside that counts. 

We look for the quick fix and instant gratification because that is our cultural norm these days, but do we get the long term and permanent results? 

Perhaps it’s different for you, but I have only found that through seeking spiritual growth daily and working on me and my attitudes and habits… 

Check your experience… 

"Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did." Big Book pg. 52 

Lord, thank You for quenching the thirst in our souls through Your Word and Spirit, AMEN. 

"Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst — not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.” John 4: 14 

Have a blessed day Y’all
