In the Grip

In the grip… 

We catch colds, come down with the flu, and get hit with allergies. 

It seems we are a target for many things! 

Luckily we have remedies and medications that help us to overcome these setbacks. 

What about life’s twists, turns, trials, tests, and temptations that influence our thoughts, behaviors, and actions? 

What or where do we get the remedies to escape these? 

Now my 12 Step friends know how we handle our addictions, but what about those other things that we continually let dominate our thoughts and lives? 

There is a Spiritual solution … BUT… 

we have to provide the willingness and effort to escape the grip of those things that are holding us down… 

Check your experience… 

“…in the grip…” Big Book pg. 30 

Lord, let us open our hearts and become willing to seek Your will in order to escape the things that are holding us back, AMEN.

“It shall not fasten its grip on me.” Psalm 101:3 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Charging Your Battery

Is your battery fully charged?..

20 plus years ago when cell phones were new, they were an oddity and not something viewed as a necessity, just an expensive “toy” if you will. 

Nowadays they are in everyone’s hands. 

They are our timekeepers, and personal assistants, and sadly in ever-growing numbers, our main form of communication and connection with others. 

What is funny to me is that with all this technology in our hands, we are now a society dependent on electrical outlets! 

Tour any airport for the best example of this! 

We are reduced to depending on the electrical outlet to give us the power we need to run our lives electronically. 

I am sure this will change in a few years but it’s a great example of where our dependence on power rests. 

What about our spiritual lives? 

How and where are we drawing our power from? 

Red Bulls are great but I am not receiving the spiritual boost I need from the little metal can. 

Self-help books are great supplements, but alone by themselves, the needed power is not there. 

God is our power source when it comes to spiritual things and especially when we face life’s trials, tests, twists, and temptations in our daily lives. 

Plug into His Word and Promises and recharge! …

“Much has already been said about receiving strength, inspiration, and direction from Him who has all knowledge and power.” Big Book pg. 85 

Lord, thank you for being our never-ending source of power, energy, and life, AMEN. 

 “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” Isaiah 40:29 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Freedom Through Serving

 We remain free through serving others… 

This is an odd concept, yet for those of us who have experienced serving someone or something out of the kindness of our hearts with no expectation of return, get it. 

Think about it for a moment. 

Every day we naturally help, assist, or give a hand to someone or something. 

From parents caring for their children’s needs to yielding the right of way to another while we walk or drive, we are instinctually serving. 

It’s part of our nature. 

The Spiritual principle supporting this is the fact that through serving others, we are humbling ourselves to put others needs before our wants. 

The feeling you get is immeasurable when you do something for someone who can never pay you back. 

Helping others, does in fact, help ourselves…

Check your experience… 

“Helping others is the foundation stone” Big Book pg 97 

Lord, let us exercise and grow our freedom through helping others, AMEN. 

 “For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.” Galatians 5:13 

Have a blessed day y’all!
