Smart or Wise?

 Are we being smart or wise?... 

While these 2 words generally mean the same thing, there is a big difference. 

Being smart comes from relying on our own self driven actions, skills, knowledge, and work. 

Wisdom comes from knowing our limitations, learning from experience, and relying on something or someone outside of ourselves. 

Humility and discernment lead us to wisdom. 

So think about this today. 

We need both in our lives depending on the situation is when we must make the choice. 

Are you being smart or wise?... 

Check your experience … 

“if it is wisely handled -- and it seems to be in wise and prudent hands -- there are doors of opportunity ahead of this project that may surpass our capacities to imagine." Big Book pg. 572 

Lord, let us lean toward wisdom when it comes to matters of the heart and will, AMEN. 

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” James 3:17 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Everyday Faith

 Faith is not believing that God can; it is in knowing God will... 

Have you ever considered that the things we rely on most we don’t actually see or understand how they exactly work? 

We can’t see the air we breathe. 

Except for a few friends who are engineers, we can’t really explain all that is involved when we turn on a light. 

We put the key in the ignition and the car starts right up. 

These things require something on our part that we don’t normally think about. 

We have faith that they will work. 

This faith comes from the experience we have built up from doing these things over and over again for a long time. 

We trust that they will work and don’t really give it much thought. 

That is how our faith works in the other areas of our lives. 

When we trust God with all of our heart, faith can carry us through many situations and seasons that are either uncomfortable or unfamiliar to us… 

Check your experience… 

 “To be vital, faith must be accompanied by self-sacrifice and unselfish, constructive action.” Big Book pg. 93 

Lord let us grow our faith through daily practice in trusting and relying on You, AMEN. 

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 

 Have a blessed day Y'all!

Are you Still in Prison?

 Are you still in prison?...

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.”- Nelson Mandela - 

This thought can give us insight to what our fears, resentments, and anger is based on. 

Are we still a prisoner of our own bitterness and hatred because we REFUSE to embrace our freedom and move on from the past?... 

Check your experience… 

“If we were to live, we had to be free of anger.” Big Book pg. 66 

 Lord let us walk in freedom letting go of the bondage of anger over the past, AMEN. 

 “Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry,” Ephesians 4:26 

Have a blessed day Y'all!
