No laurels to rest upon

Hebrews 2:8

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. (KJV)

“We vigorously commenced this way of living as we cleaned up the past. We have entered the world of the Spirit. Our next function is to grow in understanding and effectiveness. This is not an overnight matter. It should continue for our lifetime.” (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 84)

Recovered.
The steps worked,
admitted,
believed,
submitted,
inventoried,
confessed,
readied,
released,
persisted,
prayed,
served.
Recovered. But still
a work in progress.
Contingent on staying the course
today each day.

God, relieve me of my pride
in accomplishment, in recovery.
Thanks for what has come,
keep me aware you’re willing for more.
