Forming Habits
Author: Pat Aman
WOW! It takes only 30 days to form a habit or break a habit.
Now do not get me wrong or get mad at what I am going to say, but if having to make it a habit to do it helps you to start reading your Bible and Praying everyday, DO IT!
(Psalm 119:11) “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
“For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do” (Hebrews 4:12-13)
When you decide to study the Bible, you will soon fined out that the habit has become a intimate daily relationship with God.
I can think of things that I find would be harder. Exercise, which I am trying to do. Not having a Krispy Cream Donut every so often. And as for my daughters not buying shoes. But I am sure for all of us, we could add a lot more.
But just think of the reward of spending time in the word. You are relaxing, because you are not thinking and worrying. God is talking to you. God is talking to you. You’ve strengthening your faith. You are filling your spirit with the word, the word that defeats satan and his demons. And again, I am sure you yourself can think of a billion wonderful things that are taken place as you are reading the Word of God.
So, what is stopping you? Get busy right now, and start the habit that will bless you and you will surely be a lot more happier in your life.
I love a statement John Wesley said, “In all cases, the church is to be judged by the Scriptures not the Scriptures by the church.” The Bible is still the supreme authority for the Christians in all matters. It is not what we think Jesus would do or how we feel He would interpret the Scriptures, but “Thus says the Lord.”
And this is just one of the reasons we need to spend time daily in God’s Word.
