Power Greater Than Ourselves

Monday April 15, 2024

 We all need hope.  Today we are affirming the hope within us that what is impossible for us to do on our own becomes possible when we reach out for help to the power who is greater than ourselves.

 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.  (Hebrews 11:6 NLT) 


The Bible tells us that the key to life is in the “higher power” we look to.  The God of the Bible is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving.  He’s the one who created the world.  He’s the God who planned for us to have a loving, caring relationship with Him, and with others.  He’s the one who planned to forgive the sins of every human being before they were ever committed.  Step Two of the 12-Step program of A.A. invites us to get to know this all-powerful God who is rich in mercy and love towards those who choose to believe His Word as recorded in the Bible.

 

We will be more eager to come to this Higher Power if we see Him as the God who proclaims, “he rewards those who sincerely seek him”.  Our faith may not have matured to this point, but we can start by asking God to help us have more faith.  When we choose to give our will and life over to God and repent of our sins, we are accepted into God’s family.  Jesus already paid our sin debt in full and, as we faithfully follow God’s ways in all our affairs, we will become the person He created us to be.

 “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”  (Hebrews 11:1 NLT) 

 

Prayer:  Dear God, I am not sure about who You are right now, but I am coming to believe that You are the Power greater than myself who will restore me to sanity. I believe You exist and trust that You will strengthen and help me as I move forward in my new life with You in recovery. Please help me to follow Your principles in all my affairs. Amen
