Routine
The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. - Mike Murdock -
Often we view routine negatively, but, like a child, we need routine and rhythm in our daily lives. Routine goes hand in hand with discipline, habits and success. Therefore routine and habits are the building blocks for discipline and leading a successful life. If you do not have a certain amount of routine in your daily life, you will not be able to reach your God-given purpose and goal. If you sow (through daily routine) consistent effort and dedication into reaching a goal, you will reap success and fulfillment.
When God created the earth He worked according to a certain order, and rhythm and to this day that same order and routine remains unchanged (Gen 8:22). In Ecclesiastes 3 we read that there a time and a season for everything; the same principle applies to your daily routine.
Routine applies not just to your physical environment, but also to your spiritual growth and relationship with your Heavenly Father. If you do not follow a daily routine of spending time at His feet, in His Word and in prayer, you will not grow in your relationship with Him.
How do you rate yourself in terms of your daily routine and habits? More specifically on the things that really matter, the things that God has placed in your heart?
