You know these things – now do them! That is the path of blessing.John 13:17 TLB
There’s an old Irish proverb that says, “A bad habit’s like a warm bed; easy to get into, but hard to get out of.” What are the habits you need to get into, or out of, this year? If you want to know where you’ll be a year from now, check your daily routine. Change doesn’t happen because of what you know, it happens because of what you do daily. James writes, “Don’t fool yourself… letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear… whoever catches a glimpse of the revealed counsel of God… and sticks with it… will find delight” (James 1:22:25 TM).
What do you want this year? Better health? A better marriage? A better prayer life? A better income? Unless a rich relative dies, or you get an e-mail from heaven telling you otherwise, you’re going to have to: (1) Seek God, set down some written goals, and keep them before you constantly. (2) Devise a step-by-step plan for reaching them. (3) Be accountable to others. (4) Push! Persist! Persevere! Thomas Edison said, “Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed up in overalls, and looks like work.” (5) Submit ‘all of the above’ to God for His approval, then make a start. Otherwise we’ll be having this same conversation next year.
Jesus said, “You know these things – now do them! That is the path of blessing” (John 13:17 TLB).
