2 Are Better Than 1

Two are better than one… 

There is a big difference between alone time and isolation. 

While time alone spent in prayer, meditation, and communication with God is restorative and rejuvenating, isolation blocks us off from everyone and everything leaving us to become a slave to our self-centered thoughts. 

Thankfully I have folks in my life who know me and help me to avoid traveling down the path of isolation. 

I learned long ago that a good idea only becomes great when shared with another and not left to our own thoughts. 

How often and how measured is your alone time?… 

Check your experience… 

“…being restored and united under one God, with hearts and minds attuned to the welfare of others,” Big Book pg. 161 

Lord let us lean on our brothers and sisters in Christ for both good times and challenging seasons, AMEN. 

"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble." Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Be About It

Don’t talk about it…BE about it …. 

Have you ever noticed that the things we remember most are experiences we have participated in? 

Words and lessons we study are important also, and perhaps it’s different for you, but..

 Experiences are what I learn best from and remember the most.

It seems our actions are remembered more than our words. 

It’s a spiritual principle that we should let our actions, or light if you will speak for us. 

Think about it. 

Light doesn’t take away from or compete with the action. 

It supports it silently so others can see it. 

That is how God wants us to let our light shine, through our actions and not our words…

Check your experience… 

“Now we need more action, without which we find that “Faith without works is dead.” Big Book pg 76 

Lord, let our light shine through our actions and not our words, AMEN. 

“So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.” James 2:17

 Have a blessed day y’all!

Faith It

Faith it until you make it… 

We use faith in one form or another in many situations daily. 

For instance, when we touch a light switch, we naturally assume without much thought that the light will come on. 

Oh sure, a few of us, BUT NOT ME, have engineering degrees and understand all of the mechanics and physics involved in this simple act, but for the most part, folks like me trust that the light will just turn on. 

It’s the same experience in my car every time I turn the key to start it or apply the brakes while driving. 

I have faith, based on my previous experiences, that these actions will bring the desired results. 

The more I experience something, the stronger my faith is. 

It’s the same with our spiritual life. 

The more we spend time in the Word and with Jesus, the stronger our faith grows. 

We can’t buy faith, but we can surely grow it!.. 

Check your experience… 

“In this book, you read again and again that faith did for us what we could not do for ourselves.” Big Book pg. 70 

Lord, let us grow our faith through daily contact with You and time in Your Word, AMEN. 

 “For we live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7
