My Refuge and My Rock

Redemptive Recovery

May 13

"On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.”

(Psalm 62:7)

When the world feels unstable and our strength seems to fail, today's verse offers a solid reminder of where our true security lies: in God alone. David, a man who knew both triumph and betrayal, declares that his salvation, his glory, and his very identity rest on God, not on his accomplishments, not on other people, and not on circumstances.

In calling God his rock, David paints a picture of unwavering stability. Rocks do not move easily; they don’t bend or crumble under pressure. Likewise, God is firm and faithful, providing strength when we are weak and protection when we are vulnerable. He is our refuge: a safe place we can run to when life becomes too much to bear.

How many times have we’ve tried to build our lives on things that couldn’t hold us: addiction, approval, success, or comfort. However, all of these foundations eventually give way. Only God can carry the full weight of our lives. Only He can restore, redeem, and protect us.

It is vital to remember that your identity and your future are not built on your ability to hold it all together. Rather, they are built on the One who already holds you.

Where do you find your strength? Is God the rock you're standing on, or are you still leaning on something else?

Lord, You are my rock and my refuge. I’ve tried to stand on other ground, and it has failed me. But You never fail. Let my salvation and my worth rest in You alone. Be my strength today and my shelter in every storm. In Jesus’ name, 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.

Led By His Presence

Redemptive Recovery

May 9

"And the LORD was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night."

(Exodus 13:21)

When God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, He didn’t simply set them free and leave them to figure it out. He went before them, guiding every step of the way. During the day, He led them with a pillar of cloud. By night, when fear and uncertainty could have easily overtaken them, He provided a pillar of fire to light their path. God’s presence was their constant guide; visible, steady, faithful.

The pillar of cloud and fire didn’t just show the way; it was the way.

This picture is rich with meaning for us today. In seasons of change, in recovery, or when facing uncertainty, it’s easy to wonder if God is still leading. But today's verse reminds us that God’s guidance isn’t based on our ability to see the whole plan; it’s based on His unchanging commitment to be with us.

The pillar of cloud and fire didn’t just show the way; it was the way. God Himself became their navigation, their protection, and their assurance. They didn’t have to fear the unknown because the One who holds all things was leading them step by step.

Even now, God's Spirit leads His people. We may not see pillars of cloud and fire, but we have His Word, His Spirit, and His promises lighting our way. When we feel lost, we can trust that He still goes before us, making the way clear; even if it's just one step at a time.

Are you trusting God to lead you today, even when the path ahead isn't fully visible?

Lord, thank You for going before me. Even when I can’t see what’s ahead, help me trust that Your presence is my guide and my security. Light my path today, and give me courage to follow You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Beautiful Inheritance

Redemptive Recovery

May 8

“The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; Indeed, my inheritance is beautiful to me.”

(Psalm 16:6)

Psalm 16:6 expresses a deep sense of contentment and gratitude. The psalmist looks at his life, not through the lens of comparison or complaint, but through the eyes of faith. The measuring lines, the boundaries of his life, have fallen in pleasant places. Why? Because he knows the true source of his inheritance: God Himself.

For those of us walking through trials or facing new seasons of life, this verse reminds us that true contentment isn’t found in circumstances but in Christ. Our inheritance is not defined by past mistakes or present struggles; it’s defined by our position in God’s family. Through Jesus, we have been given every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3).

Even when life feels uncertain or when old regrets whisper at our hearts, we can say with David: "My inheritance is beautiful." God has secured a future for us that is good, full of hope, and sealed with His love. The more we trust in His goodness, the more clearly we see that the lines of our lives, though sometimes marked with hardship, lead to a greater joy than we could conceive or imagine.

Are you looking at your life through the eyes of faith or through the lens of disappointment? Can you see the beauty of what God has given you?

God, thank You for the beautiful inheritance You have given me through Christ. Help me to see my life not with comparison or regret, but with gratitude and hope. Teach me to trust in Your good plans and to find joy in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
