A.A. is like a dike, holding back the ocean of liquor. If we take one
glass of liquor, it is like making a small hole in the dike and once such a
hole has been made, the whole ocean of alcohol may rush in upon us.
By practicing the A.A. principles we keep the dike strong and in
repair. We spot any weakness or crack in that dike and make the
necessary repairs before any damage is done. Outside the dike is the
whole ocean of alcohol, waiting to engulf us again in despair. Am I
keeping the dike strong?
Meditation For The Day
Keep as close as you can to the Higher Power. Try to think, act, live
as though you were always in God’s presence. Keeping close to a
Power greater than yourself is the solution to most of the earth’s
problems. Try to practice the presence of God in the things you think
and do. That is the secret of personal power. It is the thing that
influences the lives of others for good. Abide in the Lord and rejoice in
His love. Keep close to the Divine Spirit in the universe. Keep God
close behind your thoughts.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may keep close to the Mind of God. I pray that I may live
with Him in my heart and mind.
