I want to encourage you TODAY to START a new habit in your life. Prioritize your time to make the most of it. God calls us to use what we have for His glory and then He takes our little and makes a lot. The hardest part is deciding what you want for your life, deciding on goals according to your desires, and starting. Habits if kept long enough will soon become second nature. The habits we create become patterns, and those patterns the foundation for the quality of the life we live. Creating “better” habits makes all the difference in the world. Our habits, then patterns, shape the person we want to become.
We have to manage our time well. Years spent doing A THING is no guarantee of progress in it. We are going to get out of our time spent what we put into it, so we have to manage it well. We have to create the best habits being intentional with our decisions, ambitious, and consistent, so that patterns that form are beneficial for God’s will for our lives.
A lot of habits that we desire but don’t begin are often put on the back burn due to our claims that there isn’t enough TIME. We have the same amount of time as every other human being on this earth. Our problem might not be a lack of time problem but a value problem. We might be placing too much value on un-important and wasteful things. They might be “good” things, but not the “best” things.
I didn’t always wake up way before the sun to spend time with God.
I didn’t always sign up for bible studies.
I didn’t always put God first.
I didn’t always pray and lead prayers for m family.
I didn’t always pray over my children.
I didn’t always make teaching my children the bible a priority.
I didn’t always think being with other believers was important.
I didn’t always seek the Lord with all my heart.
I didn’t always watch sermons every single chance I have a few quiet moments.
I didn’t always share what I’ve learned.
I didn’t always grow.
I wasn’t always hungry for more.
I didn’t always take risk.
I didn’t always tithe.
I didn’t always sacrifice.
THE KEY IS TO START TODAY.
CUT out some wasteful things that are holding you back from knowing God better, and from growing, and replace them with habits that will position you to GROW and to be used by God. If you haven’t a desire, then you are missing out on being used for greatness AND to your fullest potential. Budget your time wisely. Even go to God in prayer about how He wants you to use your time. If you give Him the first and the BEST…He blesses the rest Use your gifts and talents that He gave you, for Him. De-clutter how your spending your limited time on this earth and start some new habits TODAY!
Your faithful attempts will eventually grow into habits.
Before you know it, God will start transforming your life and using YOU to further His kingdom.
If you have asked Jesus into heart, have asked to be filled with His Holy Spirit, and have made a promise to follow Him;
then you have the SAME POWER IN YOU that RAISED CHRIST FROM THE GRAVE.
The SAME POWER!
I do not believe that Christ died on the cross for us so that we could live happy or un-happy lives, and then die. To just merely be “good” shouldn’t be the goal. To be a good person, citizen, mommy, or daddy. Those are all great things, but we were made for so much MORE! Our goal in the life we live should be to glorify God, and to win a lost world back to God. Our habits and how we spend our time should
We ARE destined to MAKE AN IMPACT! We are made for it, and we have the POWER within us if we just access it. It’s our gift!
