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!
