I was reading the verse that was prophesied over my life by Hazel and I started to read other verse from Isaiah 43 and I just love the above commentary from Joyce Meyer.
My Recovery Bible was on my bed so I opened it up at isaiah 43 and I liked the commentary here also. I must admit I was a little disappointed that it only went from isaiah 43:1-3...43:9-13. But never the less it is a powerful message
43:1-3 God loves us and will be there for us in times of great trouble and turmoil. As we "go through rivers of difficulty," we have a choice. We can either trust in our own abilities and drown or trust in God and be rescued. If we are honest, we will realize that our choices have made our lives unmanageable and that God is the only one who can redeem us.
43:9-13 There are people around us who can witness to God's power of deliverance-those who have overcome addiction or abuse. When we have doubts about the recovery process or feel like giving in to temptation, we need to find encouragement from people who have been successful in recovery. They can show us how we can overcome our dependencies because their lives have been transformed by God.
