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

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.

Listen and Live

Redemptive Recovery

March 26

"Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgements which I am teaching you to perform, so that you will live and go in and take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.

(Deuteronomy 4:1)

God’s people were on the edge of promise. After years of wandering in the wilderness, they stood before the land He had prepared for them. But before entering, Moses reminded them of something crucial: listen and obey. The life they were meant to live, the one filled with blessing, purpose, and promise, depended on their willingness to hear and follow God's Word.

We live in a world filled with competing voices. Culture, past experiences, and even our own fears can drown out God’s voice. Yet, like Israel, we’re called to listen, not just with our ears but with our hearts. God’s Word isn’t meant to restrict us but to lead us into life. His commands are not burdensome; they are life-giving. When we obey, we walk in freedom and favor.

"His instruction isn't a barrier to joy

but the pathway to it."

This verse is especially powerful for those who have struggled with addiction and other life ailments. Every step forward begins with a decision to listen. This means to listen to God’s Word, to His Spirit, and to the wisdom of those He places in our lives. His instruction isn't a barrier to joy but the pathway to it. As we follow His lead, we begin to possess the promises He has for us: peace, purpose, healing, wholeness, and forgiveness.

What voices have you been listening to lately? Are they leading you toward God’s promises or away from them?

Lord, help me to listen and to truly hear Your Word and respond with obedience. I know that in Your commands, there is life and blessing. Teach me to follow You wholeheartedly so I may walk in the promises You’ve prepared for me. In Your precious name, Amen.
