Sunday Psalm Trust And Obey
Sunday February 25, 2018
You are my portion, Lord; I have promised to obey your words. I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise. I have considered my ways and have turned my steps to your statutes. I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands. Though the wicked bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law. At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws. I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts. The earth is filled with your love, Lord; teach me your decrees. (Psalm 119:57-64 NIV)
Our new life with God in recovery is a journey of learning and growing. Learning takes place, not only when we are exposed to new information, but when we respond to that information. To live according to God’s will, we will need to make changes about what we believe and what we say and do. As we begin to trust and obey what God says, we will observe that His ways are trustworthy. Based on today’s reading, the following are some practical and helpful actions to take in order to learn and progress in our recovery:
· Have a wholehearted desire to know God and His principles for every area of life.
· Be intentional about asking God for direction throughout the day.
· Be willing to honestly assess what we are saying and doing.
· Change our thought patterns and actions when they differ from what God says is right and true.
· Be quick to obey. Be consistent. Don’t be complacent. Don’t compromise in even one area.
· Regularly give thanks for all the knowledge we have gained and the growth we observe.
God’s promise to fill our lives with love, joy and peace as we walk obediently with Him is trustworthy. Today is a good day to begin trusting and obeying God in all our ways.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Great and marvellous are Your works and just and true are Your ways. Help me to wholeheartedly obey all Your commands that I may live a fulfilling life in recovery with You. Amen
