Spiritual Fitness

Fit spiritual condition keeps us sober. God makes that possible.

Many times I hear reference to the idea that God keeps us sober. Usually this is not the case for the real alcoholic however. If God just kept us sober there would be no work associated with that. And by work I mean the spiritual disciplines of steps 10, 11 and 12. referring to self-reflection, prayer and meditation, and working with others.

The meat of the matter is that God gives us the power to stay sober when we seek him enough. That means conscious contact, interior reflection, and shining as a beacon of his hope and Glory into the darkness.
