The Importance of habits

According to some, we live almost half of our lives by habit. We need them, or else we’d have to rethink everything all the time. Habits are the small decisions you make and actions you perform every day. Your life today is essentially the sum of your habits. How in shape or out of shape you are? A result of your habits. How happy or unhappy you are? A result of your habits. How successful or unsuccessful you are? A result of your habits.

What you repeatedly do (i.e. what you spend time thinking about and doing each day) ultimately forms the person you are, the things you believe, and the personality that you portray.

The trick is to choose habits that put us in the path of grace.

If you want to love God and others more - you should focus on three core habits. These habits form the ordinary, essential core, for growth in the Christian life: 

1. Reading or listening to the Bible

2. Prayer

3. Worship and fellowship in a church community
