We are definitely creatures of habit. Maybe you have heard the saying “The habits you develop, develop you.” Knowing this is true then the right kind of habits will enable you to start each day right, stop you from worry, help you from being critical and make you a blessing to self and others. So what should I put into practice this year to make positive changes. We can gather good insight from Phil.4:6-8.

 

1. Don’t worry instead pray! Start each day telling God what you need, trusting God and giving thanks for all He has
and will do. Focus on the blessing and power of God in your life through prayer and then you will have God’s peace to guard your heart and mind.

 

2. Don’t fix eyes and thoughts on world but on things of God! Get into God’s Word early and often this year, this is how we fix our thoughts to what is right, pure, lovely, admirable and true. Then your life will know what is excellent and worthy of praise.

 

3. Don’t practice what the world does, put into practice everything you learn and see in God! Only then will you
have God’s presence, peace and protection.

 

Since “the habits we develop, develop us” lets try to grow spiritually this year by developing good Godly habits.
