A habit is a steady or regular pattern of behavior and can be good or bad. Just as it is important to develop good habits, its just as important to develop one's character.
St. Paul urged us to develop holy habits and reinforce them by repetition (I Timothy 4:7).
Possible resolutions for 2008--
1. I will take better care of my body. The Bible teaches that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 6:19).
2. I will start each day with God. Psalm 118:24 says, "This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it."
3. I will take on a specific ministry for Christ. St. Paul urged all Christians to "excel in gifts that build up the church (I Corinthians 14:12).
4. I will control my tongue. St. Paul gave us the ideal standard in Ephesians 4:15: "Speaking the truth in love , we will in all things grow up in Christ."
5. I will become a more joyful Christian. The joy of the Lord is strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
Developing holy habits is a year-long journey that begins anew each day.
