Just For Today – Step Ten --
Due Note
STEP
TEN Is about maintaining progress in recovery.
We continue to take personal inventory,
and when we are wrong, promptly admit it.
“So if you think you are standing firm,
be careful that you do not fall.” -- I Corinthians 10:12
"An honest regret for harms done, a
genuine gratitude for blessings received, and a
willingness to try for better things tomorrow will be
the permanent assets we shall seek.
"Having so considered our day, not
omitting to take due note of things well done, and
having searched our hearts with neither fear nor favor,
we can truly thank God for the blessings we have
received and sleep in good conscience."
c. 1952, Twelve Steps and Twelve
Traditions, page 95

Just for Today -- A Daily
Devotional
**********************************
We can
equate Step Ten daily inventory and admitting when we
are wrong –with confession of sin. Recovery and belief
are growing processes. God reveals in His time those
things we need to work on and all He asks is that we
humbly approach Him and reflect with His will.
As we do our inventory we will find that
it is not all bad -- good things are coming our way
also. We are receiving an abundance of blessings -- at
least one each new day -- a new day of spiritual
sobriety. For that we all should be eternally grateful
and count it all joy. When we meditate on that thought
we surely can face anything that comes our way – because
God is by our side.
“I declare to you this day that you will
certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the
land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
This day I call heaven and earth as
witnesses against you that I have set before you life
and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so
that you and your children may live and that you may
love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold
fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will
give you many years in the land he swore to give to your
fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” -- Deuteronomy
30:18-20

have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up the other;
but woe to one who is alone and falls
and does not have another to help”
