Practice Makes Permanent

Ever since I was young I was told that practice makes perfect. What I have learned as I have gotten older is that practice makes permanent. When you don’t know what to do or you are placed in an unusual season of life, you tend to fall back on old habits. You do the things that you have practiced time and time again.

One of my favorite quotes is from Pastor Craig Groeschel, he will often say “Successful people do consistently, what ordinary people do sometimes.” Walking in our purpose isn’t going to be easy. Jesus literally said in the gospels that if we want to be His disciples we have to die to ourselves and carry our cross daily. We have to practice the characteristics of Jesus, daily. That’s not an easy task. The reward on the other hand, to walk side by side in the presence of our Lord and help populate the Kingdom of Heaven, that makes all the hard work and practice worth it.

Focus:
Yesterday you took the time to make a plan. How will you stay consistent in that plan? For me, I’m a list guy! I have to create a list of disciplines that I can check off every single day to keep me accountable and focused on my spiritual development. For you it might be a list, a person, or a reminder on your phone. Find a way to create a healthy routine of practice, because practice makes permanent.
