“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Will Durant
This is powerful! What you are repeatedly doing reflects what’s happening inside you.
Consider your habits, your default way of thinking, your normal approach to living. Do they set you up for success, for excellence – the kind of success and excellence God has planned out for you?
If not, you and the Holy Spirit can change those habits and get you moving in a better direction. As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to make a positive change.
Consider This: You don’t become spiritually strong by accident. You grow through intentional practice. What do I need to be more intentional about concerning my relationship with God?

Psalm 139:15-16
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
Intention (what one intends to do) is powerful. Here, we see that every detail of who you are was intentionally designed by God for a purpose. That means something. You mean something. God doesn’t make mistakes. Trust who He has created you to be. Love you guys.
1 John 1:5-7
5 This is the message we heard from Jesus[c] and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
6 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth.
7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Philippians 4:11-13
11 …For I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.
12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
