Sunday Psalm: Save Me, For I Am Yours
Sunday March 25, 2018
Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures. Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you. If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life. Save me, for I am yours; I have sought out your precepts. (Psalm 119:89-94 NIV)
God takes delight in walking with us in our new life in recovery. This fact enrages the evil one and each day he is waiting and looking for ways to destroy this relationship. Alone, we are no match for the wicked one. However, as we turn our will and our life over to the care of God, we enter a relationship with the God of infinite power who is able to make us stand firm in vulnerable times.
In Step One we admitted that we were helpless and desired to be free from the unmanageable circumstances of our life in addiction. In Step Two we were introduced to God, who not only created us, but sent His son Jesus into the world to give His life for us, so that we could be free from sin. He then filled our hearts with His Holy Spirit and we are now empowered to live successfully in challenging times in recovery and even beyond that, forever with God in heaven.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I want to be sure that I belong to You. Forgive me for my rebellious ways and come into my heart and give me new life as Your precious child. Thank you for adopting me and empowering me to live in relationship with You. Amen
