The New Self

We gotta put it on...

Have you ever noticed that we have to make many choices daily? 

We decide what clothes to wear, what foods to eat and even the routes to take to get us from place to place. 

Some requires a lot of thought and some very little, but either way we have to give it our thoughts and make our choice. 

It's the same in our Spiritual life. 

Even though we are saved and promised eternal life when we take Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He still gives us the free will to choose our Spiritual walk daily. 

So how is that working out for you? 

Are you choosing to put on your Spiritual Armor daily and walk in His path? ..

"walk day by day in the path of spiritual progress." Big Book pg. 100 

 Lord, let us put on Your Spiritual Armor daily and walk covered and protected, AMEN. 

"..and you must put on the new self, which is created in God's likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy.” Ephesians 4:24 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Wisdom

Another type of "Book Learnin'"... 

We go to school for 12 or more years to get our education. 

Most of us get some sort of on-the-job training from our employers. 

A lot of us get many educational lessons from the school of hard knocks. 

And a few of us get ongoing education from our Big Book and its daily 12 Step practices. 

But what about Spiritual learning? 

I have yet to see it on any applications in the working world. 

The lessons I am finally learning in life come from the Bible and being in God's will and Word daily. 

Maybe it's different for you, but my wisdom comes from applying the words in God's Book to my life. 

... Check your experience. ... 

"There had been a humble willingness to have Him with me and He came. But soon the sense of His presence had been blotted out by worldly clamors, mostly those within myself. And so it has been ever since. How blind I had been." Big Book pg. 12&13 

Lord let us walk daily in Your Will and Word to gain the wisdom we need, AMEN. 

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure and full of quiet gentleness.  Then it is peace-loving and courteous. It allows discussion and is willing to yield to others; it is full of mercy and good deeds. It is wholehearted and straightforward and sincere." James 3:17 

 Have a blessed day y’all!

Just Ask

Just ask... 

It's a fact of life that things don't happen unless we provide the efforts and actions. 

We have to work to support ourselves and our loved ones. 

We have to put the right foods in our bodies in order to be healthy. 

It's the same in our Spiritual life and growth. 

We have to provide the actions in the forms of prayer, grace, and humble motives so the Lord can see that we are freely providing our own efforts to meet His will...

Check your experience...

"Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives." Big Book pg. 86 

Lord let us come to you in prayer with open hearts and minds, AMEN. 

“And when you pray, your Father in heaven knows what you need before you ask him." Matthew 6:7-8 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
