The February 22nd “Just for Today” reading introduces a fundamental aspect of recovery: the practice of continuous self-reflection to ensure our actions are in harmony with our Higher Power’s will. This daily inventory, as suggested by Step Ten, is not just about accountability for our wrongs but also about consciously choosing a path aligned with spiritual principles.
One practical approach to this daily inventory is to ask ourselves, “God’s will or mine?” before each action. This question serves as a compass, guiding us towards decisions that not only reflect our values but also foster harmony within ourselves and with the world around us. It’s a reminder that the essence of recovery is found in seeking alignment with a will greater than our own.
Living in accordance with our Higher Power’s will brings a profound sense of harmony and peace. When our actions mirror our spiritual beliefs, we experience a greater connection to the world and a deeper sense of purpose. This meditation highlights the natural flow and ease that come from this alignment, contrasting it with the discord that arises when we act solely on self-will.
An integral part of maintaining spiritual alignment is the willingness to admit when our actions have deviated from our Higher Power’s will. Recognizing these moments not only requires honesty but also the humility to correct our course. This process of admission and correction deepens our understanding of our spiritual path and enhances our ability to live in consonance with our Higher Power’s intentions for us.
On this day, February 22nd, let us commit to the practice of examining our actions through the lens of “God’s will or mine?” By doing so, we dedicate ourselves to a journey of growth that is both spiritually guided and personally fulfilling. This commitment to aligning our will with our Higher Power’s not only enriches our recovery but also brings greater harmony to our interactions with the world.
Today’s meditation invites us to embrace the journey of spiritual alignment, recognizing that each decision presents an opportunity to choose a path of harmony and growth. As we navigate the challenges and choices of daily life, let us remember the power of aligning our will with that of our Higher Power, and the peace that comes from living in accordance with spiritual principles.
