Sunday Psalm Doorway Out Of Darkness
What a refreshing feeling it is to be free from the guilt of our addiction and dependencies. Before we came into recovery we could hardly look up because we were afraid to meet the gaze of someone who cared for us. At other times, we were arrogant and defiant against anyone who brought attention to our dysfunction. To us it is a mystery how we were ever brought to the place of asking God for help.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord say: “His love endures forever.” When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? (Psalm 118:1-6 NIV)
When God tenderly brought us up from the pit we had dug for ourselves, doors that we had closed were unexpectedly opened to us. We were able to let go of those events and words that caused us to walk through doors of pain and despair. Now we are free to go through the doors of healing and restoration. The Lord is always with us, so we do not need to be afraid of what lies ahead.
This is the message from the one who is holy and true …What he opens, no one can close; and what he closes, no one can open: “I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.” (Revelation 3:7-8 NLT)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your enduring love for me. Truly Your love, is love at its best. Thank You for giving me strength to walk through those doors You have opened so I can receive healing and restoration. Amen.
