Habits
At my GMA ceremony in high school a man
preached a devotion on character and its relationship to habits. It is true
that our character is formed by our habits. For example, if I always lie when
my Mother asks me why I didn’t take out the trash, it will in turn create a bad
character habit of lying when I want to “get out of” a tough situation.
Likewise, if I invest time each day in mental, physical, and spiritual exercise
I reap the rewards of clarity of mind, extra energy to get through my day, and
spiritual peace.
Your habits are important. Take a moment to
consider what habits you need to get rid of or maybe some that you need to
form.
Lord, give us the desire to form habits that will build the life that You
desire us to have. Amen.
