December 13

Doing what is right isn't the problem; it's knowing what is right.

~Lyndon B. Johnson

Fortunately for all of us sharing a Twelve Step program, we do not have to be worried about always having the right response - to friend or adversary. We still can, and do, act impulsively and forget to rely on our Higher Power's guidance. But every time we take just a moment and quiet the noise in our mind, we’ll hear wisdom that will direct us in how to proceed.

We are fortunate people. The Twelve Steps, the wisdom freely offered to us through meetings, and our regular contact with God have made our life more meaningful and spirit-filled than we had ever imagined possible. In every situation we can be certain that we are fulfilling God's will even if our mind is filled with indecision and doubt. How? If our actions encourage compassion and forgiveness, God is guiding us.

Today I will take away any guesswork and act according to God's will.

Today's reading is from the book In God's Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery*
