habits: thoughts and words

habits: thoughts and words by ric gustafson


Out thoughts lead to the words that come out of our mouth. Thoughts and words are the start of good or bad habits. When we are trying to form good habits, words precede action. We can talk ourselves into victory or defeat. We need God's Word to give us direction and to encourage us. Matthew 9:29 says that people will have what they believe. To think like God we need to renew our minds.
Satan will try to tell us that we can never change. If we believe Satan's lies, we will never change. God has a good plan for us and Scripture is a key to constantly renewing our lives.
Forming one good habit will lead to another one. We need to do constant prayer and the help of the Holy Spirit. James 3:7-8 says that the mouth is like a wild beast that is unruly and undisciplined.
Change takes time but if we are willing, God can make it happen. As a child of God, he dwells in us and fills us with his promises. God wants to be with us every moment of our lives but that cannot happen unless we develop good and right habits.
