The Good Shepherd

Redemptive Recovery

April 1

"I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep."

(John 10:11)

We often wander like sheep. We are easily distracted, vulnerable to danger, and quick to stray from what’s best. But Jesus, our Good Shepherd, pursues us, rescues us, and restores us to safety. He knows each one of us by name. He knows our stories, our wounds, our sins, and yet, still chooses to lay down His life for us.

In seasons of addiction or brokenness, we may have felt abandoned, rejected, or even forgotten. But the Good Shepherd never leaves His sheep. He entered our brokenness, bore the weight of our sin, and gave His life so we could be free; not just from addiction, but from the power of death itself.

His sacrifice is not just a past event; it’s a present reality. He continues to guide, guard, and nurture us each day. His voice calls us to trust, to follow, and to rest in His care. No matter how far we've wandered, He is always near, ready to lead us home.

Are you following the voice of the Good Shepherd? In what ways do you need to trust Him more deeply today?

Jesus, thank You for being my Good Shepherd. Thank You for laying down Your life for me and for guiding me with compassion and grace. Help me to hear Your voice clearly and to follow You faithfully, trusting that You will lead me to peace and safety. In Your name I pray, Amen.

Redemptive Recovery (RR) is a Christian recovery group and program that is modeled on biblical truths. We believe that Jesus Christ has the power to transform our lives and that the bible is our roadmap. RR meets weekly and is for anyone currently navigating the challenges of addiction and also those that are further along in their recovery.

Walking In The Way Of The Lord

Redemptive Recovery

March 28

"Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, and the righteous will walk in them, but the wrongdoers will stumble in them.”

(Hosea 14:9)

The book of Hosea ends with a powerful call to wisdom. After chapters filled with warnings, heartbreak, and promises of restoration, our verse today stands as both a summary and a choice. God’s ways are right. The question is...will we walk in them or stumble over them?

Wisdom is not just intellectual understanding; it is spiritual discernment. It means recognizing that God’s path, though sometimes difficult, always leads to life. To walk in His ways requires humility, surrender, and trust, especially when those ways challenge our past patterns or our personal desires.

For most of us, this truth is deeply practical. We once stumbled through life, guided by our own understanding, led by impulse rather than wisdom. But God, in His mercy, showed us a better way. Now, we are invited not just to believe in Him but to walk with Him, step by step, in obedience and trust.

"Wisdom is not just intellectual understanding; it is spiritual discernment."

This path isn’t always smooth. It involves confronting our past, making amends, and choosing what is right even when it's hard. But as Hosea reminds us, the wise understand this: The ways of the Lord are right. To walk in them is to experience peace, purpose, and freedom. To reject them is to risk stumbling back into chaos and confusion.

Where are you walking today? Are there areas in your life where you're resisting God's way?

God in heaven, I confess that I don’t always walk in Your ways. Thank You for showing me the right path through Your Word. Give me wisdom to understand Your truth and courage to walk in it. Help me to choose Your way today, even when it's hard. In Christ’s name, Amen.

United We Stand

Redemptive Recovery

March 27

But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls.”

( Luke 11:17)

Jesus spoke these words in response to accusations that He was casting out demons by the power of Satan. His answer wasn’t just logical—it was spiritually profound. A divided kingdom, He said, cannot stand. The same is true for a divided heart, home, or fellowship.

Division is one of the enemy’s greatest tools. Whether it’s internal conflict, brokenness in relationships, or discord within the Church, division saps strength, blurs focus and opens the door to spiritual ruin. Jesus’ words remind us that unity isn’t optional, but rather, it’s essential.

For those of us who have struggled or are struggling, this truth is especially meaningful. We’ve lived in a kind of division where mind and spirit has been torn between old habits and new desires, between flesh and faith. Healing begins when we invite Jesus into every part of our lives, bringing our divided self into submission to His lordship. Unity with God leads to restoration.

"division saps strength, blurs focus and opens the door to spiritual ruin."

The same applies to our relationships. Our lives were never meant to be a solo journey. We need others and they need us. When our families, friendships, or fellowships are fractured, we are vulnerable. But when we pursue peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness, we begin to rebuild what was torn down. A unified heart is a strong heart. A unified community is a powerful witness.

Are there areas in your life where division still lingers? What steps can you take to pursue unity with God, yourself, and others?

Jesus, reveal the places in my life where division has taken root. Unite my heart with Yours and help me pursue peace in my relationships. Help me to walk in wholeness and be a peacemaker in a world that so often falls apart. In Your name, Amen.
