“I Give You All the Glory”. This is a song I was given yesterday after I’d contacted my friend committing to sobriety for the next 24 hours and thanking God for sobriety for the past 24 hours. This is all part of the 90-day devotional book I’m presently going through. It runs deep into each one of us that we want to conquer what is wrong from our own strength. If we can’t do it we want to find someone who can. Once I step away from this initial thinking I immediately know that I must turn it over to God who is ALL POWERFUL!
Over and over the emphasis on 24 hours is connected to breaking a habit of sinfulness. Our flesh wants so badly to be in control of self that I can hardly stay focused for the full 24 hours. I need reminders throughout the day. I know I am not alone in this either. Each one of us has this same issue to contend with. That is why we need each other as James 5:16 tells us.
If you are struggling, reach out. Reach out to God and to a friend The Holy Spirit will put on your mind. Both are here to support you and me. The outcome–FREEDOM like one has never known!
