Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn’t mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.

~Edward R. Murrow

Sometimes we believe anything from an earlier generation is outdated. With technology, this may be true. But people are not necessarily wiser today. Some time-tested wisdom is sliced to slivers on the cutting edge of what’s new. Old-fashioned honor and morality too often are made to seem hopelessly archaic.

The widespread attraction of mind-altering chemicals, the restlessness of many people, the search for a simple, fast spiritual fix—all testify to a hunger that many newfound beliefs have failed to satisfy. We are fortunate to have found in our program an answer to the malaise that afflicts so many people. In its simplest form, it’s called love; in its purest form, God.

I thank God that the wisdom of the ages is still relevant today.

Today's reading is from the book In God's Care, Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery
