![]() We can do this by establishing daily habits of prayer, worship and regular, consistent time spent in His Word. Notice that God instructed Abraham to be habitual in walking with Him and living for Him. God said to Abraham, …Walk before Me, and be blameless and complete ( Genesis 17:1 AMP). The key to having God’s “abundant life”-His love, peace and joy-is keeping Him in His rightful place in our priorities. In Christ, we can enjoy our lives-abundantly! (See John 10:10) How to Establish the Habit of Living for God And in our culture, this behavior causes a decline in our moral standards and attitudes.īut the good news is, we don’t have to settle for this way of living. Eventually it shows up as sickness and disease in their bodies. It seems we have an epidemic of selfishness in our world today, and this creates all kinds of unhealthy situations.įor example, when people refuse to honor God and follow His wisdom in their decisions, it causes them to become bogged down with worry, resentment and bitterness.

Even your feelings can become a god if you allow them to control you. Yet how many of the things that occupy our time, money, thoughts and attention have taken the place where God is supposed to be? Distractions from TruthĪnything can become a god to us-anything we worship or put an excessive amount of time into. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods (NLT). And Deuteronomy 5:8-9 says, You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind, or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. The first of the Ten Commandments states we will have no other gods before Him (see Exodus 20:3).
