Meditations on "Wisdom"

Step 10 advises us to continue to take personal inventory and, when we are wrong, promptly admit it.

In the Bible we read that Jesus was repeatedly sensitive to people and what they were going through, and He reached out to them with mercy and compassion.

Just for today I will try to live in conscious contact with God praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.

Some of us say we have hope in God, but what does that mean?

Trouble shows up in our lives for many reasons. Some of it we bring on ourselves because of our poor choices and our self-willed behaviour.

"Live and let live" is one of those slogans that encourages us to consider if our desire for control is becoming an issue we need to deal with.

For most of us compiling a list of people we have harmed and becoming willing to make amends to them is extremely intimidating.

Common sense and wisdom are learned in many ways. We are encouraged to pursue habits that draw wisdom into our daily living and interactions with others.

Our pride often keeps us from asking for what we need.

A sincere person is one who is honest, who doesn’t create false impressions, and who doesn’t operate with selfish motives.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens.

When we pray for God’s will for us and the power to carry it out, God just doesn’t point to something unfocused in the distance.
