Spent the morning studying the beatitudes in Matthew 5. I think they are the cure for the abominations that start in Proverbs 6:16.
I say that because in Recovery, we are taught not just to look at the character defect but also the opposite, the asset. To let God work in us and on us in removing our defects by intentionally practicing the opposite of our habits.
The Beatitudes are a roadmap of virtues for us to intentionally practice. They don't just help heal character defects, they prepares us for the kingdom of heaven.
It amazes me how much recovery is biblical but I think the analogy of recovery helps bring the biblical into a lost world.
