Meditations on "Wisdom"

Thinking right will have a major impact on our emotions and on our general well-being.

It’s time to give up the tunnel vision of first looking to our own interests and, only when it is convenient, looking to the interests of others. Most important, it is time to give our energy and attention to God’s interests, because we will then experience the blessing of right relationship with Him and with others.

Accountability means we have agreed to certain rules of conduct and are making every effort to live by these rules.

We need God’s help to identify our shortcomings and the infilling of the Holy Spirit to give us the will and the power to remove them.

Keeping a record of wrongs often leads to the winding path of relapse and active addiction.

“Street smarts” took us to a dead-end on the road of life. Applying God’s wisdom will bring us to a full and satisfying life.

While some may think that expressing anger is a sign of strength, it is actually allowing our weakness to show. For us to get well we need to learn new ways to handle stress or fearful circumstances.

This all-powerful God is our Heavenly Father who takes great delight in us, His precious children.

Real change happens for us when we don’t just get to know God’s will but actually put it into practice.

When stressful situations come our way, the best way forward is to make a conscious effort to turn to God and seek His help.

Through the wisdom of God’s Word in the Bible, and the understanding given us by the Holy Spirit, God will help us discern the plan He has for our lives.

No one is worse off or better off than us. Their journey of recovery is just different.
