Meditation reading for Friday March 8, 2024
AVOID PROJECTING —
It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.
— Sir Winston Churchill
How many times today will we think or say, “I wish I knew what was going to happen?” or “I’m worried about how something is going to turn out”. We can find contentment in the knowledge that God will take care of us, regardless of the outcome of any situation. And even more importantly, God already knows the outcome, and we’ll know it, too, when the time is right. We never need to worry, all is well. We’re given the knowledge and direction we need when we’re ready for it.
If I had known years ago that I’d be sharing my current journey with other sober people today, I’d likely have expressed horror and disbelief. And yet here I am, gratefully so, living more peace-filled moments than I would have ever imagined possible.
Alcoholics are not fortune tellers and are not very good at predicting the future. Today, I’ll do my best to stay in the moment and have faith that all will be ok.
