Shut Down....

The year is half over and now is the time to shut down those bad habits in our life that we know in our hearts are not what God would have for us. These habits can be found in any number of areas in our life; they can involve our health, relationships, finances or our growth in Christ. We can’t usually shut down these bad habits by ourselves, we need God: no bad habit is too big for Him. We all have a pretty good idea of the situations or habits that we have invited into our world that have no positive value and go against who we are in Christ. Now is the time to give them over to God and invite God to conquer them for you. Start applying God honoring habits and do away with the bad; start living a life that brings honor to God and stop focusing on what may or many not bring honor or rewards to us. God is for you and He wants only the best for your life.
