“Why do you still want to be beaten? Why do you continue to rebel? Your whole head is infected. Your whole heart is failing. From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head there is no healthy spotleft on your body only bruises, sores, and fresh wounds. They haven’t been cleansed, bandaged, or soothed with oil."
STEP1. We admit we were powerless over the effects of our sin and that our lives have become unmanageable.
Because the people of Judah were in denial and refused to admit their sins they continued to suffer. In our dependencies we deny our sins and refuse to admit our need of God, His cleansing and His forgiveness. In our addictions we often create destructive consequences as we try to manage our own lives. God wants us to know in the first step of recovery that we can rely on Him, face the truth and come out of denial.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths smooth. Proverbs 3:6
