Day 5 – Habits
The outcomes in our lives are mostly due to the habits in our lives.
You still have teeth, because your brush regularly.
Being sad for a day is not depression.
Working out once might help you feel better for the day, but you won’t get that sculpted body in one session. It takes months and years of taking small steps toward that goal.
Your maturity as a believer grows over time too.
Daily reading of the Scriptures, prayer and gathering with other believers regularly among other things brings maturity in Christ. It’s a walk, a journey, not an event.
Once habits are established (good or bad) they are hard to break. They sort of happen on autopilot. That’s great if it’s a good habit like coming along to church each week. It kind of happens without too much effort. It’s bad, of course if the habit is destructive.
Tomorrow we will set goals.
Long term and short term goals and break them down into habits or other action steps we can take.
