Day counts are not evil

JMJC

The purpose of a day count is to encourage others in their journey, to help them understand God works in the lives of ordinary people and also wants to help them. It is powerfully effective as evidenced by the number of recovery programs that emphasize it.Day counts can be used to fuel pride, but all good disciplines carry the risk of temptation. Exercise, prayer and service often lead to pride as people praise our efforts. Spiritual warfare is a must no matter what choices we make in life. The risk of future temptation must not stand in the way of choosing good today.

A spreadsheet tracks mine, and apps track others’. Then when a fellow needs encouragement, it is available to share.
