Wisdom For Our Recovery What God Hates And What God Loves

 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.  God brings truth up front and close and tells us in simple ways what we need to know and act on.  In the book of Proverbs in the Bible, there is much wisdom in the many clear and simple sayings that are truths we can put into practice while we are learning about our life in recovery.  Today we find a list of practices that are clearly NOT God’s will. The more we avoid these things and do what God says the more we will grow and find continued success in this new life we have been given. 

 We have all sorts of excuses for lying and for angrily confronting or accusing someone of their wrongdoing.  It is easy for us to be a bit shifty and underhanded in how we approach a person in authority or someone from whom we want some favour.  Instead of acting in these ways, God calls us to be those who love and lift others up, and with all that we are, to encourage them. God is love and He tells us to love one another, promising us that love will never fail.
