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!
