AA Thought for the Day
When we came into AA, we made a tremendous discovery. We found that we were sick persons rather than moral lepers. We were not such queer birds as we thought we were. We found other people who had the same illness that we had, who had been through the same experiences that we had been through. They had recovered. If they could do it, we could do it.
Was hope born in me the day I walked into AA?
Meditation for the Day
"He that heareth these sayings and doeth them is like unto a man who built his house upon a rock, and the rain descended and the floods came and the wind blew and beat upon that house, and it fell not for it was founded upon a rock." When your life is built upon obedience to God and upon doing His will as you understand it, you will be steadfast and unmovable even in the midst of storms. The serene, steadfast, unmovable life - the rock home - is laid, stone by stone - foundations, walls and roofs - by acts of obedience to the heavenly vision. The daily following of God's guidance and the daily doing of His will, builds your house upon a rock.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that my life may be founded upon the rock of faith. I pray that I may be obedient to the heavenly vision.
