Growth in Fertile Soil

Things grow better in fertile soil… 

Have you ever noticed how certain plants grow and thrive in some climates but not in others? 

I live in Arizona and while many forms of cacti and desert plants thrive here, tropical plants don’t. 

It’s kind of the same with our spiritual life. 

When we plant ourselves in the Word and make sure we are receiving the Living Water of the Holy Spirit and our hearts are getting needed soul nutrition from fellowship with Jesus we thrive. 

However, when we try to live in unspiritual conditions, like plants in poor soil and bad climate, we struggle to grow and thrive. 

How is your spiritual soil?... 

Check your experience… 

“At the start, this was all we needed to commence spiritual growth, to affect our first conscious relation with God as we understood Him.” Big Book pg. 47 

Lord, please help us to find fertile spiritual growing conditions through Your Word and the Holy Spirit residing within us, AMEN. 

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Going with the Flow

Going with the flow… 

It’s easy to know how to act, dress, and what to do these days. 

Just watch TV or pay attention to any form of advertising and it will tell you how to think, act, and feel. 

But, is that healthy for us? 

It’s nice to “fit in” but what mold are we trying to actually fit in to? 

Because we have a God who loves us unconditionally and give us free will, we can become disillusioned by some of the trappings of this world. 

Most of us know that money and things do not buy real happiness. 

Having a real relationship with a real and living God does!..

Check your experience… 

"We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change" Big Book pg. 84. 

Lord, let us not fall into the illusions of the material trappings of this world and distort our relationship with You, AMEN. 

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:29 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Encouragement and Strength

Encouragement and strength…. 

We all have those in our lives who seem to always point out our faults, wrongs, and failures. 

We can either let their comments weigh us down and keep us from growing or we can take great pleasure in knowing that we don’t have to worry about not being perfect because they are there to remind us that we are not! 

The good news is we have the power of choice in what we allow to invade our ears and cover our hearts. 

We receive encouragement daily when we look in our hearts and know that God's grace and hope live in His spirit in us. 

I am glad I have those in my life who have taken on the job of pointing out my wrongs and failures, it frees me up to focus on what I am doing right and gain strength as I grow closer to God. 

Are you finding hope and encouragement daily?.. 

Check your experience… 

“…whose hope is the maintenance and growth of a spiritual experience,” Big Book pg. 66

Lord, let us seek hope and comfort through our daily relationship with you through Jesus, AMEN. 

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good thing you do or say.” 2 Thessalonians 2: 16-17 

 Have a blessed day y’all!
