Scripture focus: So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he'll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it's the only way you'll get on your feet. James 4:7-10 The Message

Amen. May it be so for each of us.

The twelve steps are in a particular order for a reason –

1. Acknowledge our powerlessness.
2. Come to believe.
3. Make a decision.

These early steps are difficult; crying and gnashing of teeth usually accompany the kind of acknowledgments we need to make as we confess our unmanageable living. But this is the way we eventually find ourselves back on our feet. Won’t that be awesome? To be able to stand tall and walk with confidence?
