Zechariah 10:2 / For the idols (drugs and alcohol) speak delusion.The diviners (dealers) envision lies, and tell false dreams (make promises they cannot keep)They comfort in vain (the high is temporary and truly does not bring comfort)Therefore the people (those who use) wend their way like sheep.They are in trouble because there is no shepherd.
Since this blog deals with addiction and addictive behavior, I point people to scripture that falls in the category of a life outside of Christ. A life not lived for the fullness and glory of God, but rather to the idol of selfishness and self centeredness.The entire scope of existence through drugs and alcohol is a lie perpetrated on a people who cannot discern truth. That is why the truth needs to be spoken to them. lived out in front of them, and not watered down or held back.
Zechariah 10:12 reads: "So I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walk up and down in His name," Says the Lord. Isn't that the heart of recover? A Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. To a life that is truly lived and not merely an existence. The answer is YES!!! Notice where the strength to daily work and walk in this world comes from. God says, "I will strengthen them." Them who? Those who give themselves to Christ. Focusing their will to only do His will.
May you find that Power today!
God on you....
