TITLE: DAILY HABITS: THE BUILDING BLOCK OF DESTINY
Our quote for today’s devotional is:
The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. - Mike Murdock
Devotional:
According to the Cambridge dictionary, a habit is something you do often and regularly, sometimes without knowing that you are doing it.
Did you know that our habits shape our daily routines, and those routines ultimately define us and our destiny? In essence, our habits and routines are like a prayer to God, declaring who we aspire to be. When we consistently practise good habits and routines, we're essentially asking to become the best version of ourselves. And when those habits and routines are blessed with success, we become the manifestation of our own making – the result of our intentional choices of habits and routines.
What will that be?
As we wake up each day, chances are we do the same things in the same order almost automatically. From brushing your teeth to prayer time or whatever else features in your day. Researchers tell us that about 43% of what we do every day is habitual. Most times we have already done something before we realize that we have done it. Like making your bed, how we eat, or buying the same brand of a product or driving or walking home through the same route each day.
We need to regularly audit our day to find out if our routines are channelling us towards our goals and destination or derailing us from it.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- Am I conscious of my routine and habits?
- Which of my daily routines (if done everyday for 5 years) is moving me towards my goals?
- Which of my daily routines (if done everyday for 5 years) will take me away from my desired goal?
LET US PRAY:
Dear God, please help me develop habits that steer me toward my purpose and grant me the grace to steer away from habits that hinder me, in Jesus name. Amen.
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
- I know where I am headed
- I commit to my purpose
- My habits and routines will align with my purpose.
Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
