Step 2: We came to believe that a power greater than outselves could restore use to sanity.

February 27

Scripture reading for today: Go through Leviticus and highlight the topics. Things like: instructions for priestly conduct, purification after childbirth, commentary on skin diseases, bodily discharges (yuk), forbidden sexual practices, etc. What jumps out at you?

I wonder what you expect “coming to believe” to mean in your life. How do you think “perfect” believing would change your daily life experiences?

“Coming to believe” in step two is clearly a process; more closely resembling a journey than an arrival at an important destination. I wonder what you imagine a faith journey would be like for you?

Thought for today: I hope you can set aside all those thoughts, dreams, and expectations – just put them in a box and tie a ribbon around them. I invite you to consider allowing God to define how he wants your journey to unfold. How different would your perspective be if you were able to lay aside everything and instead, just walk the path?

Thought for tomorrow: “ Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God and there is no other; I am God and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please…What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do.” Isaiah 46:9-11 NIV
