Psalm
119:9
Wherewithal
shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy
word.
It
was a strange feeling to be back in control. The last few years were just a fog
in Al's memory. He had spent them in a haze of dope and alcohol. Thank God that
Janet came along. She saw the trouble he was in and offered him a friendly
hand. She had invited him to her church, and there he found a circle of friends
that he'd decided could never exist. Miraculously, withdrawal had been easier
than he dreamed. The church people rallied around him and gave him all the
support he needed. Now he was clean, and he owed it all to God.
God
is the great purifier. He will remove all that is impure in our lives and fill
us with good things. We no longer need earthly crutches, because we have found
total healing in the Lord. All that is required is a willingness to change. The
Lord will help us do the rest.
Prayer:
Make me a new person, Lord. I may not be hung up on drugs, but t there is
plenty in my life that should not be there. Help to wash it all away, and
replace it with Your blessed love. Amen.
