What are you building your house on?
The Bible has a lot to say on how we should live our lives. If we know how we are supposed to live and disregard that knowledge it is foolish. As we build our lives, we should strive to build it on a solid foundation that will last forever, the Kingdom of God. What are you building your house on? Daily Bible Devotion

Heard many times in recovery, "what kind of foundation are you building your house on?" I was told it could be sand, shallow, nothing to restore it, like water and light.
It says build your house upon a rock. My rock was AA, reinforced by NA because I knew I was an addict, and then I added an annex with Al-Anon. I did the do things, got a home group, a sponsor, a co-sponsor(s) ( three Native American women), service sponsor, and an Al-Anon sponsor. I went to meetings, especially to discussion meetings so I could hear people share, that way I could block out anyone who I didn't identify with. I went to speaker meetings and compared instead of identifying, and stayed sick. I didn't know it wasn't the substance, addiction is an addiction, no matter what I used, it was all about my thinking, working the 12 Steps, learning about myself and my dis-ease. I always knew God from a distance. I had to learn to make daily contact and develop a relationship, so I was living in His Will, not mine. Anything I used to escape my reality and where I didn't want to be, became the 'god' of my life. My foundation was my God, yet I couldn't sit back and wait for Him to work in my life, I had to learn to work for Him, to say thank you for giving me a second chance.
