When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

Right Here, Right Now

Ever wonder where the phrase One Day At A Time popularized by Alcoholics Anonymous came from?  Emmet Fox is the most likely originator: "Live in today, and do not allow yourself to live in the past under any pretense. Living in the past means thinking about the past, rehearsing past events, especially if you do this with feeling...train yourself to be a man or woman who lives one day at a time. You'll be surprised how rapidly conditions will change for the better when you approach this ideal." Dr. Fox said this a few years before Bill Wilson sobered up and many, including Bill, of the early rummies studied Dr. Fox's teachings. 

When we marry one thing at a time with one day at a time, we have a simple yet powerful guide for living, Living on the Spiritual Basis. The only time we can be present for God, the only time we can stand in the presence of God, the only time God can be present in our lives, is in the present moment. He was there yesterday and I trust He will be there tomorrow, such is faith, but our work is done right here, right now. Keep your head where your hands are, your eyes fixed on God; your heart in His care and nothing can ever truly harm you.
