My "Rights"

I have these “rights"...

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right? 

Maybe even a week or longer where things just are not working out? 

It’s frustrating when we are going through these times. 

Now maybe it’s different for you but, when things don’t go my way or the way I expect them to, my “rights” move in and try to convince me that my way is the only way and the best way. 

This crowds out not only reality, but also the ability for God to work in me and through me to show me what is meant to be. 

I have learned through these times and over the years to look for the good and hold fast to my knowledge and experience that my faith will see me through and my hopes will keep me looking for the positive… 

Check your experience… 

“I can watch my serenity level rise when I discard my expectations. But then my “rights” try to move in, and they too can force my serenity level down. I have to discard my “rights,” as well as my expectations,” Big Book pg 420. 

Lord, remind our hearts in times of struggle and discomfort that this will pass and to look for the good and not focus on the bad, AMEN. 

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Caller ID

Looking at your Caller ID… 

Modern technology provides us with many conveniences that make our lives easier as well as more informed. 

From instant information available to all on the internet to digital medical records that doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies securely share, these benefits enable us to lead easier and more productive lives. 

One thing I particularly enjoy is caller ID. 

Back in the day when the wall phone in the kitchen rang, we had to answer it no matter what and we never knew who was calling. 

Caller ID has simplified my life. 

If you are on my contact list, I know it’s you and I will answer, if you are unknown to me, then you get to speak to the voice mail I check once a week! 

Spiritually speaking we have the same opportunity with the calls on our hearts and souls. 

God uses Jesus and the Holy Spirit to call on us through our hearts to not only help us but also show us His will for us. 

Because God loves us unconditionally, He gives us the free will to choose to take His call or not. 

What is our choice to be?.. 

Check your experience… 

 “There had been a humble willingness to have Him with me -- and He came.” Big Book pg 12 

Lord, let us answer Your call knowing You have the answer for us as well as the way of grace and peace, AMEN.

 “…lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.” Ephesians 4:1 

Have a blessed day Y’all!!

Wisdom

There are book smarts, street smarts, and then there is wisdom... 

Most of us can claim to be graduates of the School of Hard Knocks. 

Experience teaches us much and we learn from our mistakes and even from our victories. 

Some of us can even claim advanced degrees from our School of Hard Knocks, but...

The ones I have learned the most from are the students of God's Word. 

Some have their undergraduate degrees from our Alma Mater, but ultimately their trust in the Lord and thirst for His Word gives them the wisdom we all naturally seek. 

From Who and where are you gaining your wisdom?..

Check your experience...

"Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did." Big Book pg. 50 

Lord fill us with Your wisdom that comes from Your Spirit and Word, AMEN. 

 "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously" James 1:5

Have a blessed day Y'all!
