2 Peter 1:8 says ” For if these things are yours and abound, they make yo to be not idle nor unfruitful
I have been most of my life a creature of habit. I get up at the same time, eat kinda the same things and so forth.
I even study my Bible at the same time and same way. I pray at the same kind of time and so forth. Well… I was reading Oswald Chambers this morning (5-12-18) and it occurred to me that Habits do not necessary please the Lord but WHAT BELONGS to me is what pleases Him.
What I mean to say is that IF I am doing something… even something like reading my Bible out of habit – just to say that I did it that day… is not pleasing to Him. BUT – if I read and pray because my heart desires it then this is what please Him because pleasing Him is in me and belongs to me! Habits that please the Lord are Habits that come from a heart that longs for GOD – not in accomplishing the deed.
Lord – Please forgive my Habits and remind me to live within the the wonder of what I posses – Which is Christ in me.
