Bad Habits

Do you have any bad habits? We don’t like to think about them; we certainly don’t like to talk about them. However, sometimes we become so comfortable with our bad habits we hide them and protect them; and in return, those bad habits become so comfortable with us and so much a part of us they are reluctant to give up their happy home.

The good news is this: if you have accepted Christ as your Savior, the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit lives within you; a power which is able to conquer all. Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 19:26 that with God all things are possible. Philippians 4:13 tells us we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. 1 Peter 5:7 says we should cast all our care upon Him who cares for us.

Let’s commit today to give any bad habits we may have to God and let Him conquer them for us. Let’s also commit to NOT taking those bad habits back! If we remain obedient to God, He will fight our battles for us.
1 Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

2 For the LORD Most High is awesome;
He is a great King over all the earth.

8 God reigns over the nations;
God sits on His holy throne.

9b For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is greatly exalted. (Psalm 47, NKJV)
God Bless!
