Meditations on "Wisdom"

The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid?

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

“Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse!

So watch your step, friends. Make sure there’s no evil unbelief lying around that will trip you up and throw you off course, diverting you from the living God.

Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Where does trouble come from? Three main sources of trouble are: 1) Our Fallen World: We live in a world that is broken down because of sinful choices down through the ages.

As we journey forward in our recovery, God provides wise counselors to accompany us and support us in our new way of living.

To go forward in recovery we must find new direction for our lives, new ways of responding to issues, and new guidelines for making decisions.

When we come into recovery we are strongly encouraged to quickly find a sponsor and listen to the advice of people who have been in the program for a while.
