Recovery Meditations

God is willing to support us and strengthen us as we lay down our own self-directed ways and invite Him to lead us along the path He has chosen for us.

When a person starts to build something they usually have a plan in their mind or directions on paper, such as blueprints, which guide them.

Living wisely means seeking direction from God’s word and the counsel of others who have walked closely with God.
