Another Type of Book Learning

Another type of “Book Learnin'”… 


We go to school for 12 or more years to get our education. 


Most of us get some sort of on-the-job training from our employers. 


A lot of us get many educational lessons from the school of hard knocks. 


And a few of us get ongoing education from our Big Book and its daily 12 Step practices. 


But what about Spiritual learning? 


I have yet to see it on any applications in the working world. 


The lessons I am finally learning in life come from the Bible and being in God’s will and Word daily. 

Maybe it’s different for you, but my wisdom comes from applying the words in God’s Book to my life. 


… Check your experience. … 


“There had been a humble willingness to have Him with me and He came. But soon the sense of His presence had been blotted out by worldly clamors, mostly those within myself.
 
And so it has been ever since. How blind I had been.” Big Book pg. 12&13 


Lord let us walk daily in Your Will and Word to gain the wisdom we need, AMEN. 


“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure and full of quiet gentleness.  Then it is peace-loving and courteous. It allows discussion and is willing to yield to others; it is full of mercy and good deeds. It is wholehearted and straightforward and sincere.” James 3:17
 


 Have a blessed day y’all! 


Join me in looking at the things we face daily with passages from both the Big Book and Bible!
