“Be still and know that He Is God”

Embarking on this new life in recovery many will find themselves in “uncharted waters”. On this road we find ourselves faced with situations that in the past we drank and or used. In the beginning we take advice from those that went before us. We cling on to how they overcame their trials and tribulations.

In the infant stage of our recovery examples on how to live is all around us. But as we grow and mature the mountains in our lives become steeper. Like a baby birds first attempt to fly and is pushed out of the nest we find ourselves leaning more on God and God alone.

When we “Be still and know that He is God” we surrender to the awesome power and direction of God. We surrender to the fact that His plan is better than ours. The faster we learn how to “Be still“ the easier life becomes. “Being still” humbles us, and when the problems of life arise that are out of our control “Being still” teaches us to surrender.

Even our prayers have changed. It's no longer our will be done but His will be done in our lives. We recognize God has our best interest at heart. We learn to rest in His decision, even if He is silent in this process.  The muscles of patience and trust are being strengthened at this time. So we move through life knowing everything is going to be alright.

Stay Woke: Keep your hand in God's hand, knowing He didn’t bring us this far to let us go!
