Hope in the Psalms: Seeing Triumph Over Addiction in the Songs of David

DAY 4 OF 7

If you’re new to recovery, then you’ve started to grasp this truth about the nature of making your own path:

It usually doesn’t lead anywhere.

In your past, you had forged a path that led you to rock bottom, but now you’re on a healthy, constructive path, a path that leads toward a life of sobriety and wisdom.

This is the path of the Lord.

This is the path David craved to discover in today’s psalm. We can see exactly that in Psalm 25:4-5, where he says, “Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long.”

David was tired of going his own way and wanted only what the Lord had for him, to the point where he didn’t just ask God for guidance—he set his mind and will toward patience.

“Whatever it takes or however long I have to wait,” David is saying, “I will do it.”

This is the kind of mindset everyone in recovery needs, the kind that is ready and willing to do the patient work of restoration. Be encouraged today and don’t be afraid to wait on the Lord. He is always worth your time.
