Meditations on "Wisdom"

When we say we have given our will and life over to the care of God, what does that mean to us?

We are all looking for a peaceful life and God's word has a lot to say about how living well under authority with proper respect for leaders brings that to us.

The contrast of destructive self-centeredness in active addiction with the healthy lifestyle of supporting one another in recovery is clearly expressed in Promise 7 of AA: We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.

Who is more resourceful than an addict in need? Desperation really fuels the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties.

We hang around with all sorts of people in a variety of situations.

To be responsible recovering addicts, we need to have regular contact with God and seek His wisdom and His will for our lives.

How many of us have lashed out in anger against a person who has harmed us?

When we see those with evil plans prosper, we often wonder why God would allow them to do so.

When we look back at our lives, we see that the road that took us down the path to addiction was strewn with flawed thinking and self-deception.

Recovery meetings have common formats from place to place.

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

What is worship? Worship is the giving of honour to God for who He is and in recognition of all that He has done for us.
