Someplace I read these words: This is the day the Lord has made. This is the day. It didn’t say, yesterday is the day the Lord has made, nor tomorrow is the day. It was this day.
I was thinking about this day. Today. This is what we always talk about, when we say it’s just one day at a time. Now. Today. This is the day I won’t take that first drink. And, if I don’t drink today, it doesn’t matter what’s going on. It’s, as my sponsor used to tell me, a very good day.
But there’s something I have to do today. God’s will for me. That’s my job. To seek and do the will of God. To ask God for the power to do his will today. To maintain my spiritual condition, which is the solution to what I came here for; to stop that endless round of drinking. To stop pushing it to the ultimate limits and end that vicious cycle I was caught up in.
The good news is that by doing this I find it works. It works if we will work it, as they used to say.
Part of God’s will for me today is to find someone, who will let me out of myself. Someone I can reach out to and possibly help with God’s grace. In my expereience this has never failed to lift me up out of negativity, which seems to be my natural condition. I think we’re hard wired for that way of thinking and it’s only by God’s grace, expressed in the form of the steps that I can accomplish this.
I hope that as this day goes on, I can remember where I am. I’m in today and no other place. I can’t think of a better place to be than in rememberance of this. It’s all we really have, so why not stay here and use it to the best of our ability? And then give thanks for the opportunity of this day.
Just some of what I was thinking.
