Fork in the Road

I don’t do what I should do and I want to do what I shouldn’t…. 

The age-old conundrum, doing what is the expected and right thing versus the attraction of doing the opposite. 

If it weren’t for my age and the experiences acquired from choosing the wrong thing,  I would not have the easier time that I do today to avoid this chaos. 

Why is it that our self-will likes to rear its ugly head and try to twist our thinking to fall victim to the illusion of our mind and the wrong choice? 

As long as we walk this Earth, our self-will is going to be contending with the Holy Spirit residing in each of us to interfere with God’s will for our lives…

Check your experience… 

“The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success.” Big Book pg. 60 

Lord, let us turn our will and our lives over to Your care daily, AMEN. 

“I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” Romans 7:18 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

The Heart of the Matter

The heart of the matter… 

Have you ever noticed folks that are extremely focused on whatever task, cause, or action they are performing or participating in? 

It seems something unseen is driving their behavior and or actions. 

While I am sure you have your own examples, my favorites are the basketball greats, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan. 

Those guys could inspire others to perform at the higher level they performed on. 

What is that unseen thing that drives their talents and efforts? 

We have it too, and it’s called heart. 

Have you ever noticed that when you put your heart into what you are doing, it seems to go better?... 

Check your experience… 

“His change of heart was dramatic, convincing, and moving.” Big Book pg. 55 

Lord, let us put our Spirit filled heart into whatever we are doing, AMEN. 

 “we do not lose heart,” 2 Corinthians 4:1 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

 How about a daily dose of hope and inspired thought? 

Who Do You Trust?

Who ya gonna trust?... 

Trust is a strong word with heavy commitment. 

We see it on our currency and we use it as a part of our foundation for relationships with people, places, and things. 

Think about it, how many times do we use the word trust in statements we make to ourselves or others, as we finalize our action decision? 

We trust teachers with our children. 

We trust doctors with our health. We trust our employers to pay our wages. 

The experiences we build over time with our teachers, doctors, and employers helps to build this trust. 

So where do we place our trust when we work on our spiritual life? 

Are we placing it with strangers, fads, or are we placing it in building a long term relationship with God?...

Check your experience… 

We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves.” Big Book pg. 68 

Lord, let us place our trust in You through growing closer to You in Your Word, AMEN. 

“So God’s promise is given to us because we put our trust in Him. We can be sure of it. It is because of His loving favor to us.” Romans 4:16 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
