Start A Good Habit

 

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverancethe race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1

What is it you at procrastinating about? Scheduling a daily quiet time.Exercise. Learning a new skill. Cooking healthier. Finding a life giving church home. Making friends. 

Every good habit takes about 21 days to have it locked in your brain. You have to commit and be intentional about what your goal is. Wishing it into existence won’t work.  Say it is knowing God better and committing to daily quiet time. The simple fact of going to church one hour doesn’t cut it for intimacy with the Savior. 

Start in the New Testament reading Matthew. A couple chapters a day. There are many online Bible studies available. The enemy will provide you with every excuse in the book to be lethargic. Do you want to know where to go in the Bible for comforting yourself and others? Then you have to study. 2020 has been a challenge but don’t allow that to be your quitting point but alas reach out and decide this is going to be a race you will definitely win! 

PRAYER: I choose this day to stop making excuses for things I need to do such as getting closer to God. Help me Lord as I seek to get rid of distractions keeping me from you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
