Day 25

DAILY DEVOT IONAL 25

Vernon House

You whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, “you are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off”; fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your god; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:9-10

As a young man I struggled with the demons of addiction, before long I was faced with the challenge of continuing this path of destruction and certain death or stopping and changing my life for the better? The choice was clear but the problem was that I didn’t know how to stop. I was tired and afraid and completely unable to find my way! I prayed to God to help me, I knew that without him I would surely die. That was over 30 years ago and I have been clean and sober ever since.

QUESTIONS

1. Have you ever felt lost and didn’t know which way to go or who to turn to?

2. Has fear and confusion ever overwhelmed your ability to make important “life” decisions?

PRAYER:

Thank you god for your forgiveness, your strength and your healing. Thank you for never abandoning us and for allowing us to always have a chance at redemption and everlasting life. Your love is beyond our comprehension and we are blessed and grateful to be your children. Amen.
