Follow Godly Habits!
"Put on the new self, which is being renewed
in knowledge in the image of its Creator."
Colossians 3:10
Rafael Badziag, who studies psychology of entrepreneurship,
interviewed 21 billionaires and found they all have the same
six core habits: (1) They wake
up early; (2) they keep healthy
and exercise regularly; (3) they are avid readers; (4) they set
time to contemplate and
think; (5) they develop routines and
rituals; (6) they practice discipline and self-control.
Being a billionaire is overrated, but building a biblical personality
is vastly underrated. There's no value that we can put on a godly
lifestyle, yet we must strive to establish good habits that keep us
focused on the Lord. What habits do you need to strengthen in
your life? Improved stewardship of your time? Regular periods
of rest? Healthier communication with those you love?
Less screen time? Exercise? Nutrition?
All these are habits, and habits are like spaceships.
It takes a lot of energy to launch them, once they’re
in orbit their momentum becomes natural. Don’t be
discouraged. Work on a new habit today.
"Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual
growth. Acute desire must be present or there
will be no manifestation of Christ to His people."
