If we hold something in our hand and then let go of it, it will drop to the ground. It doesn’t matter if it is large or small, light or heavy, it will drop. Why? The law of gravity on earth is in operation.
Has the law of gravity always been around? Yes. But it wasn’t until the 1600’s that a scientist named Sir Isaac Newton described it and then Albert Einstein in the early 1900’s more accurately helped us understand it through his theory of relativity. Much of modern science in physics and aerodynamics is based on these principles. Scientists did not invent gravity. It had always been there; we just didn’t understand it.
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. (Psalm 19:1, Romans 1:20 NLT)
The God who created this earth and put natural laws in place has also given us spiritual laws that are in operation. In Step 11 the founders of AA invited us to the process of discovering life as it really is when they said, “We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understand Him praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” Reading and putting into operation God’s laws as recorded in the Bible will lead us to a richer and more satisfying life, because we are living according to truth rather than trying to go against it.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Help me to know and practice Your principles for recovery and life in all my affairs. My desire is to know Your will for my life and have the power to carry it out. Amen
