Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

– 2 Timothy 2:15, NIV

Spiritual habits are the seeds that blossom into a flourishing faith. You must understand that devoting ourselves to spiritual habits is not just a to-do; it’s a roadmap to a deepened connection with God.

See it this way; when a tree is firmly rooted in rich soil, its growth depends on the nourishment it receives. In the same vein, our spiritual well-being is nurtured by what we do – habits – like reading the Bible, setting aside time for prayer and engaging in activities that advance the kingdom of God. And just like with regular habits, this has to be given attention and practised daily.

God told Joshua that devoting time to reading and meditating on the Word of God will bring assured success. And just as a tree’s branches reach for the sky, spiritual habits elevate our spirits, drawing us closer to God and ultimately they become a natural outpouring of our faith, not only that, but they will also set us on the path of success we so desire. As you immerse yourself in the study of the Word and prayer, you will see an increase in your faith foundations and be able to understand His will for you.

Insight: Spiritual habits are the seeds that blossom into a flourishing faith, providing strength and resilience for success.

Prayer: Lord, help me cultivate spiritual habits that draw me closer to You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
