Psalm 21:13 (The Message)
A David Psalm
13Show your strength, GOD, so no one can miss it.
We are out singing the good news!
God is great. God was the only thing powerful enough to stop me from my addictions. To me, Psalm 21 is about His greatness. The great life he planned, and gave, to David. Now I'm not the kind of person who compares his himself to great people - in fact, I kind of hate it when people consider themselves to be great like that. However, as I read psalm 21, I feel like God has piled blessings on me, in the same way he piled blessings on David.
At one point in my life, I was so close to losing everything. Now I have more than I could have dreamed. I wanted a good life and God gave it to me. He's filled my arms with gifts, and delivered me from my addiction. So, it should be no surprise that I would want to share this kind of power with the world. That it would be my hope that this power, which can liberate all people from evil, reign over the world. This shall be my song today.
Dear Lord, be with us today, as we sing your good news. As we bear witness to your power over evil. As we bear witness to your glory and your way of life. There are so many people who suffer from the prison of addiction, Lord. Relieve of us of our bondage of self that we may help those addicts who still suffer. In helping the addicts that suffer, help us play our role in liberating them from evil. Let us help in a way that those addicts who still suffer can experience arms filled with gifts and a good life. All this we pray in your name, Amen.
Thanks for letting me share.
