HOLY HABITS

THE PATHWAY TO TRANFORMATION

Habits: The Small Things That Shape Your Future

Habits are behaviors that become automatic through repetition. They often occur without conscious thought, and they account for around 40% of daily actions.

Daniel 6:6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. 7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. 8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 9 Wherefore, King Darius signed the writing and the decree. 10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. 11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

Daniel had a habit of praying where others could see, and he was not breaking his habit even though it was against the law of the time.

1 Timothy 4:7 Stay clear of silly stories that get dressed up as religion. Exercise daily in God - no spiritual flabbiness, please! 8 Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. 9 You can count on this. Take it to heart.

Small Holy Habits Bring Supernatural Results

• Habits of prayer lead to peace.

You sow a thought; you reap an action.

You sow an action, reap a habit.

You sow a habit, reap a lifestyle and your destiny.

Your Future Is Hidden In Your Daily Routine.
