Read with Me: What habits have you formed?
“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” ~ Jim Ryun
We’ve started this journey together motivated by ambition, friendship and solid desires to know God and his Word. Now we just need to let the habit carry us through to the end.
Howya doin? We’re almost to the end of February and rather than ask what chapters you have or haven’t read, I want to talk about habits.
Kellie made some super encouraging remarks on last weeks check-in. She reminded us all that this challenge is less about the goal and more about the journey.
Isn’t all of the Christian life like that? God cares much less about what we do than what we are. It’s not about the job or the tasks; it’s about who we become, who we are becoming. It’s not about where we go, but those we meet. It’s not about titles, but relationships. And knowing God is meant to be a relationship. Are we checking off assignments or are we following that desire that first motivated us? Our goal is to know God and His Word.
So, tell me: what habits have you formed since we started this journey? Do you have a specific time or place where you read your Bible? What if your routine is thwarted? How do you adjust your schedule to find that quiet moment?
