Clean and Sober
March 9, 2011
There are many people who are addicted to something, especially something that has a negative effect on their life. The only way to truly be freed from that addiction is to not only get sober but to get clean. If the factors that led to the addiction in the first place remain, relapse will always be inevitable. Those factors must be taken out of the equation for any hope of a full recovery from addiction. Jesus is the only one who can truly clean a person’s life up, and he waits patiently asking, “Do you want to be made well?”

At some point in our lives, God gives us a calling, however it is common for many to ignore it. The reason why we ignore the calling that God gives for our life is because we may feel that by following that calling we will lose our life, all the while overlooking the fact that we are accomplishing that by not following God’s call. If God has called you in the past and you ignored His call, be willing to respond and ask Him to give you that call again. It is amazing the impact that one yielded life can make on the world.

It is easy to fall into believing the lie that because of our past God cannot use us. However, there are several characters in the Bible that God chose to use despite their shortcomings. God specifically chose each one of us to be used for His work before there was even time. His grace given to us by the power of the cross is what enables us to do His work no matter how much we have messed up in the past. We may have some serious struggles, but God chooses to use us anyway.

There was a tree that had grown to be very large and had a tire around the trunk of it. The only way that tire could have gotten there is for it to be set around the tree very early on. Parents are given the command to teach their children the ways of the Lord so that they may walk in those ways early on in their lives. We all come to a point where we tire from walking in a spiritual relationship with God, but when we come to those points we must go back to the reasons we first fell in love with God so that we can continue moving forward with Him.

There are plenty of people in the world who go to church as part of their weekly schedule because their religion is just something else that they do. However, Jesus never called anyone to heartless religious acts, rather He called us to relationship with Him. When we have a relationship with God, it goes with us in our daily lives and we are called to act on that relationship in ways that help others, such as widows and orphans. God doesn’t want our actions unless it comes out of a heart for Him. Any other religious act that someone does apart from Christ is a waste of time.
