Daily Reflections ~ Experience: The Best Teacher & 24hrs a Day

Being still inexperienced and having just made conscious contact with God, it is not probable that we are going to be inspired at all times. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 87

Some say that experience is the best teacher, but I believe that experience is the only teacher. I have been able to learn of Gods love for me only by the experience of my dependence on that love. At first I could not be sure of His direction in my life, but now I see that if I am to be bold enough to ask for His guidance, I must act as if He has provided it. I frequently ask God to help me remember that He has a path for me.

 

You are now reading from the book Twenty Four Hours a Day Hardcover (24 Hours)

A.A. Thought for the Day

In the beginning of Alcoholics Anonymous there were only two persons. Now there are many groups and thousands of members. True, the surface has only been scratched. There are probably ten million or more persons in America alone who need our help. More and more people are making a start in A.A. each day. In the case of individual members, the beginning has been accomplished when they admit they are powerless and turn to a Power greater than themselves, admitting that their lives have become unmanageable. That Higher Power works for good in all things and helps us to accomplish much in individual growth and in the growth of A.A. groups. Am I doing my part in helping A.A. to grow?

Meditation for the Day

"Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." Only in the fullness of faith can the heartsick and faint and weary be satisfied, healed, and rested. Think of the wonderful spiritual revelations still to be found by those who are trying to live the spiritual life. Much of life is spiritually unexplored country. Only to the consecrated and loving people who walk with God in spirit can these great spiritual discoveries be revealed. Keep going forward and keep growing in righteousness.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that the material things of the world may not hold me back. I pray that I may let God lead me forward.

Hazelden

(Let it be a God or Higher Power of your own understanding)

There was a time not long ago when I would have jumped all over the word "righteousness" (if I even read this, which I probably wouldn't have) but now I can just accept that my warped, twisted brain may be reading something into the word that doesn't really exist, and I can try to enjoy the rest of the post (much of which I can really relate to and hope for.)

Thanks for posting!

aww
