Cleaning the Insides

**Wash the dirt away….**

Most of us shower and or bathe daily, some more than others!

On top of that we have hand sanitizers and other personal products stashed everywhere so we can use them at our leisure to rid ourselves of dirt, germs, and grime we encounter all day long.

**How about our minds?**

There are books, videos, and seminars always available to help us get a fresh perspective but…..

**HOW do we get Spiritually clean?**

I’m sure y’all have a thought or method…

**How’s that working out for you?..**

I have found through my walk with Jesus along the 12 Step path that the only way for me to cleanse my spirit is to daily wash my soul and heart in the Word, along with accountability to others, and finally serving those He puts in my path…

Check your experience…

Remembering While We Relax

**It’s a 3-day weekend with lots of BBQs, sales, travel, and even a traditional race in the Hoosier Heartland.**

***Just a suggestion, but take a moment, when you can, to remember and say a prayer of thanks to those who willingly and bravely gave their lives in order for us to remain free and safe.***

**Last I checked we are still ‘One Nation Under God’…**

***“There had been a humble willingness to have Him with me — and He came.” Big Book pg. 12***

***Lord thank you for our freedom and bless those who have fallen while they served our country to protect us, AMEN.***

Help with Our Burdens

I can’t. … HE can. … I think I will let Him….
The pressures of everyday life can become overwhelming.
Especially when we fall under the worldly illusion that we must do it all alone, by ourselves and perfectly.
Friends, please know that you are never, ever, alone!

The Holy Spirit lives in our hearts and will see us through times of stress and uncertainty.
Have you tried allowing God to carry those heavy burdens?..
Check your experience…

“I can’t. … HE CAN. … I think I will let HIM.” Big Book Steps 1, 2,& 3

Lord remind our hearts in times of stress and heaviness that You are with us and ready to shoulder the load, AMEN.

Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

Actions Over Intentions

**Actions bring results …**

Perhaps you are free of this, or have no issues with it, but it’s an age-old twist on our thinking that causes a lot of us to become resentful, jealous, envious, or even bitter.

**We want people to judge us by our intentions while we choose to judge others by their actions.**

It’s another condition of being human.

The solution is pretty simple.

**We must own this twist of thinking and correct it through our own actions and efforts and not our intentions.**

Think about it, are we able to see the results of others or our own intentions?

I INTENDED to lose weight…

I INTENDED to get my college degree…

I INTENDED to be a better husband and father…

***It carries no lasting effects.***

**Only actions on our part brings the desired and needed results. …**

Check your experience. …

***“It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels.” Big Book pg. 85***

*Lord let us put actions behind our efforts to be better people, seeking Your will and not our own, AMEN.*

***“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.” 1 John 3:18***

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Keep Pressing On

Keep pressing on…
Have you noticed how much more automated our lives have become?
From the GPS systems in our devices and cars to the “smart” appliances that can alert us to when they need attention or restocking, we now have more things than ever that can do our thinking and work for us.
While automation is a nice convenience that allows us to focus our time and attention on other matters, how do we keep our focus on our spiritual growth?
I enjoy my daily Bible study along with the spiritual tools and devotions that are delivered to me daily via email, but I remain grateful that I still have to apply the humble willingness to study and learn daily.
Applying what I learn in the Word to my life daily helps me to keep walking with Jesus and pressing on toward His will for me.
Thank goodness I have not automated this part of my life!

This would block me off from the sunlight of His Spirit and I could become lost in the illusions of this material world. How about you?

What parts of your life have become automated that perhaps are removing you from growing spiritually?..
Check your experience…

“The point is, that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines.” Big Book pg. 60

Lord, let us not automate our daily time with You in the Word, AMEN.

“But I press on” Philippians 3:12
Have a blessed day Y’all!
