From the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous, devotionals were considered a “must”. In the biography of Dr. Bob the Co-Founder of AA, there is listed “certain musts” that needs to be followed to stay sober, number 4 states:
4. He must have devotions every morning — a “quiet time” of prayer and some reading from the Bible and other religious literature. Unless this is faithfully followed, there is grave danger of backsliding. (List found in DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers, pp. 130-31)
Everyone needs daily encouragement from the Lord. “Notes from the Father” by Rev. John Lippard is filled with scripture-based devotions and a prophetic word to help on days when one is feeling weak or discouraged. True healing comes in the “quiet time” of prayer and meditation, that is where a new believer understands who they are in Christ—a beloved child of God.
“When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand-new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (TLB)
