JUST FOR TODAY! -- Daily

From "He Sold Himself Short:"

"I was feeling pretty cocky, and I didn't think my wife was treating me with proper respect, now that I was an outstanding citizen.  So I set out to get drunk deliberately, just to teach her what she was missing.  A week later I had to get an old friend from Akron to spend two days sobering me up.  That was my lesson, that one could not take the moral inventory and then file it away; that the alcoholic has to continue to take inventory every day if he expects to get well and stay well."

c. 2001, Alcoholics Anonymous, pages 264-265

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

Taking our eyes off of what is important.  Each sin that happens in our lives is because we have taken our eyes off Jesus.  The above story above shows that the writer began taking “other” people’s inventory to the extent that it gave them their excuse to “use” again. 

Daily reflection is important -- It reminds us of our condition on this earth -- that we have not achieved perfection and that we are in constant need of retuning. 

As we discussed yesterday, praying without ceasing to God to have Him reveal our daily inventory to us if done consistently, then we will get well and stay well until Jesus comes to take us home.

“Hide your face from my sins
 and blot out all my iniquity.

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
 and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence
 or take your Holy Spirit from me.”  -- Psalm 51:9-11

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6
