Step One thought and scripture – Day 20.

Step One in Alcoholics Anonymous


Admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.


Step One in Living Free


I now see [admit] that I, of myself, am powerless, unable to control [manage] my life by myself.


Paul valued all of his accomplishments in his life. He had total self worth. And for good reason. He was the religious cream of the crop. All of that never gave him true value and worth. It was only when he came to Christ and made a decision to consider all that he had to be worthless garbage that he was able to obtain true worth and value through Christ as a child of God.


Philippians 3:5-9

New Living Translation (NLT)


5 I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin—a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law. 6 I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.

7 I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.
