Reserve a daily time with God...

Psalm 1:2
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Principle 7 states -
Reserve a daily time with God for Bible reading, self examination and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.

This daily time alone with God is crucial for those of us in recovery. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, declared Him your higher power, then you need to spend time praying to Him and reading the Bible, which is all about Him. Through the pages of Scripture we can learn about the character of God, His plan for us, and how we should live. As well as what He has planned for us in the future.

Do you need comfort? Read the Bible.

Do you need encouragement? Read the Bible.

Do you need to be challenged and called to a higher standard of living? Read the Bible.

Do you want to know God more and learn more about yourself in the process? You guessed it, read the Bible.

Lots of us have a hard time making this daily time a priority. We make excuses and come up with all kinds of reasons we just can’t get it done. Thankfully, one of the reasons people use for not reading their Bibles is a thing of the past. For years people have said that Bibles are big and bulky and that when they read their Bible in public, it can scare people off.

Enter in the electronic Bible. If you have a smart phone, laptop or tablet computer such as the iPad, you can carry books to enhance your quiet time as well as a plethora of Bibles.

Including the Celebrate Recovery Bible. If you would like to carry your Celebrate Recovery Bible with you where ever you go, head on over to the Amazon Kindle store and download it to any Kindle device, Android phone, iPhone, iPad, or computer. 

Reserving that daily time with God has never been easier. We hope you enjoy the new ways to engage with the Celebrate Recovery tools.

Grateful Believers,
National CR T.E.A.M.
