July 25 - The slogans used in Gamblers Anonymous are seemingly clear and
simple. Yet they may still have different meanings for different
people, according to their own experiences and reactions to the words
and ideas. Take, for example, the slogan "Let Go and Let God." For
some people, it may suggest that all we have to do is sidestep the
challenges that confront us and, somehow, God will do all the work. We
must remember that God gives us free will, intelligence, and good senses
- it is clearly His intention that we use these gifts. If I'm
receptive, God will make His will known to me step by step, but I must
carry it out.
Do I sometimes act as if I surrender to God's will is a passport to inertia?
Today I Pray - May my "passport" be stamped and ready to take me
forward. May my travels be motivated by challenges I can readily
recognize as things to do, not things to watch. I pray that I may make
the most of my gifts from God, of talents that I am aware of and some I
have yet to discover. May I not "let go and give up" but keep on
learning, growing, doing, serving, praying, carrying out the will of God
as I understand it.
Today I Will Remember - God meant me to make the most of myself.
