Meditate On
Seven times a
day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments.
Psalm 119:164
Develop Godly Habits
It was David’s
habit to praise God seven times a day. It was Daniel’s habit since his youth to
pray three times a day to God. It was Jesus’ habit to go to the synagogue every
Sabbath to read the Word. And it was the early church’s habit to meet together
often and break bread.
My friend,
whether it’s meditating on the Word, praying or praising God, I encourage you
to cultivate such godly habits. Not only are they ways through which you’ll
enjoy God’s presence, but they’ll also equip you for every fight of life. They’ll
sustain and deliver you in times of trouble.
Just look at
Daniel. When a new law forbade him to pray, he didn’t panic or become confused,
but as was his custom, continued to pray to God. Later, up close and personal
with a bunch of hungry lions, this habit made Daniel so conscious of God’s
presence in the den that the lions couldn’t touch him! It made him so steady
that the king was moved to haul Daniel up and throw in his enemies to the lions
instead.
Beloved, let
godly habits deepen your relationship with Jesus—and overcome every challenge
with a strong consciousness of His presence and love!
BLESSING
JOSEPH PRINCE
