JUST FOR TODAY! -- Yardsticks

From "The alcoholic in the Oxford Group:"

"In 1948, Dr. Bob recalled the [Oxford Group's] absolutes as 'the only yardsticks' Alcoholics Anonymous had in the early days, before the Twelve Steps.  He said he still felt they held good and could be extremely helpful when he wanted to do the right thing and the answer was not obvious.  'Almost always, if I measure my decision carefully by the yardsticks of absolute honesty, absolute unselfishness, absolute purity, and absolute love, and it checks up pretty well with those four, then my answer can't be very far out of the way,' he said."

c. 1980, DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers, page 54

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

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

Yardstick – a measuring tool -- we have such tools to use in recovery.  Yes the steps are tools to measure how we act, our sponsor, our home recovery group, but the greatest tool,  the one that helps the most, the one that gives us an answer every time – The Bible – The inerrant Word of God. 

Make sure that your recovery is steeped in time with God, not just in prayer and daily reflection of your success that day, but good solid time reading, praying and meditating on God’s instructions.

"So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you,   the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind  in all nations where the LORD your God has banished you, and you  return to the LORD your God and obey Him  with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons, then the LORD your God will  restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and  will gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has  scattered you. -- Deuteronomy 30:1-3

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
