The average person will live about 30,000 days.
I’m not sure where I stand on that continuum, but I’m pretty sure I’m closer to the end than I am to the beginning. Will I live 30,000 days? A little less? A little more?
Who knows? But I do know this – I’m alive on this day. And that makes the words of the psalmist entirely relevant.
“This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).
If you want to make today count, I suggest you find time to do five things:
- Bless your family.
- Improve your recovery.
- Get some exercise.
- Spend time with God.
- Have some fun.
Recovery Step: This is the last day you are promised. 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.
