Pressing On

Keep pressing on… 

Have you noticed how much more automated our lives have become? 

From the GPS systems in our devices and cars to the “smart” appliances that can alert us to when they need attention or restocking, we now have more things than ever that can do our thinking and work for us. 

While automation is a nice convenience that allows us to focus our time and attention on other matters, how do we keep our focus on our spiritual growth? 

I enjoy my daily Bible study along with the spiritual tools and devotions that are delivered to me daily via email, but I remain grateful that I still have to apply the humble willingness to study and learn daily. 

Applying what I learn in the Word to my life daily helps me to keep walking with Jesus and pressing on toward His will for me. 

Thank goodness I have not automated this part of my life! 

This would block me off from the sunlight of His Spirit and I could become lost in the illusions of this material world. 

 How about you? 

What parts of your life have become automated that perhaps are removing you from growing spiritually?.. 

Check your experience… 

“The point is, that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines.” Big Book pg. 60 

Lord, let us not automate our daily time with You in the Word, AMEN.

Clear Vision

Regaining our sight... 

Have you ever noticed how our attitudes, behaviors, and even our sight can be influenced by pride, anger, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, and or sloth? (PAGLEGS) 

These are influenced by our self-driven fears and change how we see things from how things actually are. 

Vision influenced by emotions is not clear vision. 

This poor vision leads us to all sorts of bad choices, actions, and decisions. 

Check your "vision" next time you are being led by emotions into hasty actions. 

Turn your will over to God and watch your vision (and emotions) be restored...

Check your experience... 

"His presence had been blotted out by worldly clamors, mostly those within me. And so, it has been ever since. How blind I had been." Big Book pg. 12-13 

Lord open the eyes of our hearts so that we can see past the emotions of the moment, AMEN. 

"Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Acts 9:17 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Count the Cost

What is the total cost?.. 

Anyone who knows me understands my preference to avoid numbers in just about every situation that I can. 

What I have learned in life and in school is that everything has a cost. 

Not only a numerical valued cost, but also the cost of time, effort, relationships, and growth. 

It’s pretty easy to count the numerical cost in most things. 

My wallet and my bank account are a constant reminder that I am not made of money. 

Now maybe it’s different for you, but it’s those other costs that are the most expensive to me. 

I have learned to ask myself what is the cost; to the relationship, time, as well as what value is to be gained. 

Needless to say, whenever Miss Tami or my daughter needs me, that automatically wins, ...

but what about the time I spend on other matters that may or may not be healthy for me or my relationships with my family, friends, and Jesus?... 

Check your experience… 

“Simple, but not easy; a price had to be paid.” Big Book pg. 14 

 Lord, let us include our loves, our priorities, and our relationship with You when we count the cost of our efforts, AMEN. 

“But don’t begin until you count the cost.” Luke 14:28
