Watching Our Words

Watching our words…. 

Maybe it’s different for you, but sometimes the thoughts in my head that need to stay there slip out of my mouth as words and it’s never good. 

I learned a long time ago that words that come from negative emotions as well as reactions instead of responses can harm and hurt just like any other weapon. 

Luckily for me I have learned to keep these words inside of my head and let the Holy Spirit hear them and advise me and calm my emotions and allow my heart a chance to survey the situation and form a response instead of allowing the emotions of my initial reaction to come out as words. 

Allowing God to help me filter my words has saved me from many situations that could have proven hurtful had they gone unchecked. 

How do you filter your words?... 

Check your experience… 

“Our behavior will convince them more than our words.” Big Book pg. 83 

Lord, let us share our thoughts with you first before we form words that come from our mouths, AMEN. 

“In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.” James 3: 5-6 

Have a blessed day y’all!

It Ain't No Fast Food

Well it ain’t no fast food... 

Have you ever noticed that there are certain foods and meals that “stick with you”, so to speak? 

In my world, homemade meals with real and healthy ingredients tend to do the most good for me. 

We have a few favorite restaurants that offer entrees like this as well. 

It just seems to me that whenever fast food is the choice, I am either hungry again in a short time or sleepy from the carb coma I just gorged on. 

It’s the same with our spiritual nutrition. 

When we digest the Word and apply it to our lives, it sticks with us and does our body good. 

How are you spiritually feeding yourself? 

Consider your Source and as always… 

Check your experience… 

 “Assuming we are spiritually fit, we can do all sorts of things” Big Book pg. 100 

Lord, let us nourish ourselves from Your Spirit and Your Word, AMEN. 

“Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty….I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life” John 6: 35, 47 

Have a blessed day y’all!

Walk By Faith

Another way to see things….. 

We use our eyes to see all that this world has to offer. 

That’s part of being human. 

We are also equipped with another way to see. 

Our Spiritual nature inside of helps us to see in a different way. 

We cannot see the air we breathe, yet we take it for granted that it’s here. 

We naturally take it for granted that when we flip a light switch the light will come on and when we put the key into the ignition the car will start. 

This comes from FAITH. 

We learn by doing and by feeling. 

This is how we develop our spiritual eyes. 

Now it’s a fact that we all crawl before we walk. 

So we cannot develop spiritual eyes overnight. 

Like the air we breathe, light switch, and the key in the ignition, we build up a continued and familiar experience over time that allows us to believe it will work. 

It’s the same with our faith. 

We must build on it and grow it so that we can rely on it in times of uncertainty. 

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, open the eyes of our hearts through building and growing our faith in You and Your Word, AMEN. 

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