Getting To Know You

Bible Reading: Proverbs 1:10-15
Focus Verse: Proverbs 1:10

Someone once said to me “If you want to get your life straight you need to get to know yourself.” I believe that is true, but I also believe you need to get to know God.

There is a song I learned in The Salvation Army early in recovery that shaped how I proceeded in recovery. The words say ‘To be like Jesus, this hope possesses me. In every thought and deed, this is my aim my creed. ’

To be like Jesus we need to understand His character. To understand His character, we need to read His Word but we also need to be in close, personal relationship with Him.

– What do you know about Jesus?

– How have you encountered His intervention in your life?

Prayer: God help me today to thirst to know more about Jesus and to seek a personal relationship with Him

 

 

#2305 The Word For Recovery

My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.1 John 3:18 

#2304 What The Bible Says

Jesus said, “The truth is, if you have faith and no doubts, you will be able to do the same as I did to this tree. And you will be able to do more. You will be able to say to this mountain, ‘Go, mountain, fall into the sea.’ And if you have faith, it will happen. “I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live–what you will eat or what you will wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it. Matthew 21:21 ~ Luke 12:22-23

God wants everyone to be saved and to fully understand the truth. There is only one God, and there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus, who as a man gave himself to pay for everyone to be free. This is the message that was given to us at just the right time.
1 Timothy 2:4-6

FOR OR AGAINST
   Matthew 12:30

 

 

Morning Start-Up
Sometimes we want to be on the side of everything that is good, clean and wholesome, then at other times we still want the things we know are no good for us or those we love. It is if there are two forces pulling us in different directions. We know we cannot go in both directions, remain in recovery and become the people God wants us to be. 

It is a fact that we become caught between two opinions at times. Human nature tends to want to sit on the fence rather than make firm decisions. God demands we make a choice. We are either for Him or against Him. He is not seeking supporters, but brave men and women ready to follow Him wholeheartedly. If it seems too hard just remember He supplies all we need to do everything He calls us to do.

Meditation
When temptations come to me, I know that God is with me and he will help me. I want my life to be a witness to His saving grace and the power of His love. Because of that, I don’t allow things into my life that are not in harmony with His will for me.

Prayer
I pray that my life will speak for God and I will be seen to be on His side. I pray that He will keep me from following other powers and forces in this world that will lead me away from Him.
