Meditations on "Wisdom"

Dealing with a bad reputation is one of the most difficult things to face as we seek to live well in recovery with God.

We can’t “fight our demons” on our own but when we ask our all-powerful God to help us, He will give us so much more power to do so.

It is God’s plan that we not only know truth but believe truth, speak truth and reorder our lives so that all our actions reflect truth.

Do we recognize how much Jesus suffered so that we could be set free from the power of sin?

Recovery is a time of learning to find serenity in our healing, and blessing God while also accepting life as it is, not as we would have it.

A renewed conscience clearly indicates what is morally right and good and gives warning when we are straying into wrongdoing.

The more often we make the choice to do things God’s way, the more often we will see that it was exactly the right thing to do at that time.

Life with God in recovery requires an individual to be thorough in both their willingness to change and in their actions.

Written into our souls, from a power that transcends time and culture, are moral laws given by God.

We will honour someone today if we ask for and receive their advice in solving a problem we need help with.

Planning gives us peace in our hearts knowing that we have reviewed the specifics of how to get to where we are going, and what we need to get there.

This coming year is a fresh opportunity to go deeper in our experience of coming to believe that a Power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity.
