Lead me, oh great jehovah, if you prescribe, prescribe, prescribe to god, you’re going to end up disappointed.
Ever felt trapped in a cycle you just can't break? In this episode of the 'Addiction' podcast, Dr. Toby B. Holt dives into the powerful story of Exodus to shed light on the journey to overcome addiction through faith. Drawing parallels between the ancient tale of Moses and modern struggles with addiction, Dr. Holt offers a fresh perspective on finding freedom and strength in spiritual teachings.
Starting with the dramatic encounter between Moses and God, where God commands Moses to free His people from Pharaoh's grip, Dr. Holt emphasizes the importance of listening to divine guidance rather than relying solely on personal interpretations. He vividly recounts how Pharaoh's stubborn resistance to God's demand led to increased oppression, mirroring how addiction can entrap individuals in a similar cycle of suffering. Dr.
Holt doesn't shy away from discussing the Israelites' own wavering faith, highlighting their tendency to turn to Moses for solutions instead of trusting in God's plan. This serves as a reminder of the importance of placing our trust in a higher power rather than our own limited understanding. By drawing on God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Dr.
Holt illustrates that there's a divine plan for each of us, one that can guide us through even the toughest battles with addiction. The episode wraps up with a thought-provoking quote from Dr. Holt: 'Lead me, oh great Jehovah; if you prescribe, prescribe, prescribe to God, you're going to end up disappointed'. This encapsulates the episode's core message - trust in God's plan and resist the urge to rely solely on your own solutions.
This episode isn't just a sermon; it's a heartfelt call to break free from addiction through faith. Whether you're struggling personally or supporting someone who is, Dr. Holt's insights offer a beacon of hope and practical guidance.
