Holy Habits

Habits - we all have them. Not all habits are bad, however, when we say we "have a habit," it typically brings to mind ... bad habits. By definition, a habit refers to the frequent repetition or continuance of the same act (Webster's Dictionary, 1828). I suggest many of our habits are done with little thought. There are some habits to which we should be attentive and apply great deliberation - quiet time with God, for example. This is one habit none of us will be naturally driven to do! Psalm 27:8 (ESV) says, "You have said, 'Seek my face.' My heart says to you, 'Your face, Lord, do I seek.'" This is an example of God telling us what should be a habit for each of His children: stop whatever is occupying your time and seek Me! Note the response: yes, Lord, I will do just that - I will seek You. Is this a habit for you? Make a list of your habits - Look it over carefully. If time with God isn't on your list of habits, begin today and make it a ... holy habit.
