In one day, Charles Servizio did 46,000 pushups. Ben Feldman sold $20 million worth of insurance in a day. Will Ferrell played for ten MLB teams in one day. In one day, mosquitoes kill more people than sharks kill in 100 years. Each day, 4.5 million thin mints are baked for Girl Scouts.
And in one day, God created the heavens and the earth.
You can do a lot in a day.
The Bible says, “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). Note: the Bible never says, “This is the week the Lord has made.” Or the month, or year, or decade.
Let’s talk recovery. What can you do in a day? I suggest the following:
- Read one page of recovery material.
- Make one recovery call.
- Do a spot inventory of yourself.
- Pray the Serenity Prayer.
Recover Step: Today is a new day. Make it count.
Author: Mark Denison
Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
