God Does What He Promises

Sunday October 29, 2017

You keep track of all my sorrows.  You have collected all my tears in your bottle.  You have recorded each one in your book.  My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.  This I know: God is on my side!  I praise God for what he has promised; yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised.  I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?  What can mere mortals do to me?  I will fulfill my vows to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.  For you have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping.  So now I can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light. (Psalm 56:8-13 NLT)

 When we have had a spiritual awakening while completing the 12-Step program we can look back and give thanks to God for all He has done for us.  When our sorrows were overwhelming, we shed many tears.   Some of us feel God would need tanks rather that bottles to contain them.  We called on the Lord for help numerous times each day and the enemy of our soul had to retreat because God was on our side and gave us the victory over temptation.


At the beginning of our recovery we were unsure that God would do what He said but God has proven Himself faithful to do all that He has promised.  We can now praise Him and give thanks that God is someone who never lies to us.  He rescued us from the slimy pit of addiction and continues to keep our feet from slipping.  What an awesome God He is!

God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?  (Numbers 23:10 NLT)

We can give thanks for ongoing spiritual revelations as we continue to walk in God’s presence, in His life-giving light.

Prayer:  Gracious God, Thank You that You are faithful to perform what You have promised. Amen
