S4 Ep 039 - stay the course :
The recovery process isn’t always a mountain top experience. The excitement and the new recovery smell will soon fade. It’s then that we will open ourselves up to burnout and fatigue. It’s then in our weariness that we must press on. In this episode let's talk about perseverance in our recovery and practical ways we can implement them into our daily recovery. We are also looking at several scripture references for perseverance including :
•James 1:2-4 :
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
•Galatians 6:9 :
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
•2 Corinthians 11: 23-33 :
“Are they servants of Christ, I am a better one. I am talking like a madman with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the 40 lashes, three times I was beating with rods. Once I was stoned Three times I was shipwrecked a night and a day. I was adrift at sea. On frequent journeys in danger from rivers danger from robbers danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, and danger from false brothers in toil and in hardship through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food and cold, and exposure. And apart from the other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. Who is weak, am I not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant. If I must boast I will boast of the things that show my weakness, the God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed for ever knows that I am not lying…”
•1 Corinthians 10:13 :
"No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others and God is faithful, He will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear. But with the trial, will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it. “
In recovery it is certain that we will become weary along the journey..but when we back our recovery with God's word and with Christ as our higher power, we can endure the seasons of weariness and Stay the Course!
