December 4 Romans 6:14
For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
The spiritual program of recovery is not just for alcholics. We all need to admit “we are powerless over…….” Think of it this way. When the going gets tough what do you do?
I’m liable to eat or smoke my pipe, or maybe have some whiskey. Better I should sit quietly and pray! Some people do what we jokingly call shopping therapy. Maybe, all though it’s hard to believe, you clean house.
In any event we no longer need to turn to such “sins.” (I say so since they can be God replacements.) Nor do we need to wallow in any Shame because of them. We no longer live by condemning law. We live by the Grace of God in Jesus Christ.
When we take Step One it leads to two and Three. We came to believe in God and turn to Him for help!
So, where or whom do you turn to when the going gets tough?
