Is Your Inner Battery Charged?

Mark Farley August 13, 2022 0 Likes 316 Views

**Is your battery fully charged?..**

20 plus years ago when cell phones were new, they were an oddity and not something viewed as a necessity, just an expensive “toy” if you will.

Nowadays they are in everyone’s hands.

They are our timekeepers, and personal assistants, and sadly in ever-growing numbers, our main form of communication and connection with others.

***What is funny to me is that with all this technology in our hands, we are now a society dependent on electrical outlets!***

**Tour any airport for the best example of this!**

We are reduced to depending on the electrical outlet to give us the power we need to run our lives electronically.

I am sure this will change in a few years but it’s a great example of where our dependence on power rests.

***What about our spiritual lives?***

**How and where are we drawing our power from?**

Red Bulls are great but I am not receiving the spiritual boost I need from the little metal can.

Self-help books are great supplements, but alone by themselves, the needed power is not there.

***God is our power source when it comes to spiritual things and especially when we face life’s trials, tests, twists, and temptations in our daily lives.***

**Plug into His Word and Promises and recharge!..**

Check your experience…

***“Much has already been said about receiving strength, inspiration, and direction from Him who has all knowledge and power.” Big Book pg 85***

***Lord, thank you for being our never-ending source of power, energy, and life, AMEN.***

***“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” Isaiah 40:29***

Have a blessed day y’all!

What is the Worth of Worry?

Mark Farley August 12, 2022 0 Likes 369 Views

**Does worry ever work?..**

Think about it.

How much time, effort, and energy do we waste worrying?

How many folks do we try to take hostage with our worries?

**It robs us of our peace of mind!**

**When we are consumed with worry, we block our heart and mind from reality, the present, and our faith.**

**I have yet to meet anyone who has been helped by worry.**

**Have you?** …Check your experience…

***“…saying to ourselves many times each day “Thy will be done.” We are then in much less danger of excitement, fear, anger, worry, self-pity, or foolish decisions.” Big Book pg 88***

***Lord let us trade our worry for faith in knowing through seeking Your will we will be ok, AMEN.***

***“And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span? If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?” Luke 12:25-26***

Have a blessed day y’all!

Letting Go

Ron P August 11, 2022 0 Likes 353 Views

For me, it has been a struggle to learn how to let things go! i have struggled with holding on to past hurts, and most of all, resentment towards others! I call it ”letting others live rent free inside my head”! Learning to let things go, to turn them over to God, hasn’t been easy for me. But, the more I practice that, the better I get at it. Im realizing that when I can do that, ”Let go and let God”, I can experience the peace and joy that God wants for us all! I want more of that peace!

Turning Troubles to Triumphs

Mark Farley August 11, 2022 0 Likes 302 Views

**Turning troubles into triumphs…**

Every day we are faced with challenges.

Some, like traffic, are minor and recurring, but others can actually turn into setbacks if we let them.

**Think about it, how often do we see heartache and despair arise from issues that spin out of control or take us, hostage, emotionally?**

I don’t know about you, but when I adjust my attitude and willingness toward the situation, person, place, or thing and give it to God to handle, things not only improve, but I learn something new along the way.

**Next time you find yourself in despair from a seemingly hopeless situation, try adjusting your attitude and willingness and give it to God…**

Check your experience…

***“We hope you are convinced now that God can remove whatever self-will has blocked you off from Him.” Big Book pg 71***

*Lord, let us turn our troubles over to You and face the day with a fresh attitude and willingness to learn, AMEN.*

***“From there I will ….. turn the “Valley of Trouble” into an “Opportunity for Hope. ”Hosea 2:15***

Have a blessed day y’all!

Got Heart?

**When the going gets tough….**

***We all experience trying times and receive not-so-good news every now and then.***

Maybe it’s different for you, but even after all these years of walking with Jesus, learning from the Big Book, Bible, my picket fence of friends, and Spiritual mentors,…

**My initial gut reaction to bad news is to blame others and not want to look at my part.**

Luckily for me, I am blessed with friends, family, and a loving God who all remind me that even though I have hit a bump in the road, it’s a season that will pass, provided that I supply the willingness and effort.

Hopefully, your experience with bad news allows you to respond in such a way that you…

**don’t turn a bad moment into a bad day…**

Check your experience…

***“Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us – sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.” Big Book pg 84***

*Lord, let us look to You and Your Word in trying times to see the path we must take to move through this season, AMEN.*

***“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” Isaiah 43:2***

Have a blessed day y’all!

Faith Requires Action

Mark Farley August 9, 2022 0 Likes 320 Views

**Add some action to your faith….**

Let’s see….

**When is action not needed for good results?**

Can I have a gym membership only or do I need to go and work out in order to lose weight and get fit?

Can I get paid for my job and not have to show up to work?

Can I have a healthy home life as a husband and a dad without participating daily in the lives of my loved ones?

***It’s the same with our walk with Jesus.***

**It’s not good enough to memorize the Bible and sit in a church seat on Sunday.**

***God wants a relationship with us that includes action…***

Check your experience…

***“To be vital, faith must be accompanied by self-sacrifice and unselfish, constructive action.” Big Book pg 93***

***Lord, let us participate in our faith daily with actions that grow our relationship with You, AMEN.***

***“Do what God’s teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves.” James 1:22***

Patience

Ron P August 9, 2022 0 Likes 342 Views

As I continue on this journey called ”life”, God continues to reveal His Wisdom to me. One of the areas of my character He continues to grow is my patience. It is funny how God works! He has blessed me with a spouse who really tests my patience! Lol! It has been a struggle for me! Keeping my mouth shut! Trying to see things through my wife’s eyes! Learning to let things go! But, as I am able to become more patient, mostly by keeping my mouth shut, listening more, I can see and feel God working in me. It is very difficult for me at times to be patient, but by continuing to practice it, I continue to get better at it! I’ve heard it said that patience is a virtue! For me, it is one of the many blessings from God!

Giving to Get

Mark Farley August 6, 2022 0 Likes 246 Views

**We gotta give in order to get…**

***This is not only a prescription for daily living that most successful folks use, it’s also a spiritual principle.***

***“It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.” St Francis Prayer…***

***However, like most things that are good for us and seem easy to do, there is some “fine print” attached***.

Now while it makes sense that when we are helpful to others, we are usually helped in some form or fashion in return.

But how about this?

**We also have to FORGIVE others in order to RECEIVE forgiveness!**

***Now while that sounds like not so much fun, it truly is a freeing exercise that will release us from the bondage of anger, guilt, and resentment.***

**Go on…give it a try….and as always, don’t believe me, but …**

CHECK your experience…

***“We go to him in a helpful and forgiving spirit, confessing our former ill feeling and expressing our regret.” Big Book pg 77***

*Lord, let us forgive others so that we can be free to receive forgiveness for our sins and mistakes, AMEN.*

***“And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:25***
