Are You "Just" Doing What You Are Accustomed To?

Accustomed.........it means the usual.....that which is habitual or customary.    What are you accustomed to?    What is the thing that you usually do?    What is the habit that you have formed?   What is the custom that you follow?  

A lot of times we just do what we are accustomed to doing.   What the norm is.    The question is.....is the norm what is best for "you"?   Or should I say....what does the "norm" in your life represent?    We have to understand that not all habits in our lives are good for us.    Sometimes we choose to eat sweets over fruits and veggies because that is what we are accustomed to.....but is it better for us?

It's the same thing with our thoughts and actions.   We choose to think a certain way or do things a certain way because that was the way we were raised and that is what we are accustomed to........but does that way strengthen you, encourage you, edify you, and build you up.    Habits are formed and they can be broken.   The don't just exist.   They come from doing something habitually.    We have to learn how to make an exchange.   To change the things that are not good for us for the things that are. 

It's a transitional process.   Transitional means to move from one stage or place to another.    It's time to move from the place of pain to the place of joy.   It's time to move from the place of prayerlessness to the place of prayer.   It's time to move from the place of sickness to a place of healing.   Some transitions you can do on your own.   Some you need God to do for you.    But your position.....where you are in Him....will determine His ability to move on your behalf.     When I say your position....I mean your trust, your belief, your walk, your talk.......how are they lining up with who He is.   Are you standing on who He is or are you living on the outskirts of His will, purpose, and plan.   What is your position?   

Get to a place today of standing on God and His word.   Begin to break the habits that are not enriching to your life.    When something enriches you.....it increases the value and quality of who you are.    Sometimes we feel as though the things we do are ineffective.   Understand today that everything has an effect on your life .... whether it be good or bad.....there is an effect.
