“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.” Matthew 5:5 (NLT)
Step 3—Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. This choosing is informed by the previous two steps: I have no power to do good in my own strength, but God has the power to help me do it. So God moves first, and enables us to choose to agree with Him as to what is best for our lives, and then to live it day by day, “more of God and less of me.”
We continue a series on the Road to Recovery, finding healing for our hurts, habits and hang-ups, as expressed by Rick Warren, and based on the Beatitudes of Matthew 5.
Step 2—Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover. I don’t have the power, but God does; not only does God know best, but He has my best interests at heart. My choice is to do life on my own, or to humbly bring my life to God and experience His supernatural divine comfort. Turn to Him in the power of the Holy Spirit today.
