Greetings to all of you!
Just like we do a spring cleaning in our homes, it’s important to do a spring cleaning in our minds, but it’s not always a “one and done” that lasts throughout the year. For transformation to happen in your life, there are going to be some bad habits you’ll need to clear out regularly because they’re slowing you down. Hebrews 12:1 says, “We must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up” (GW). Our goal in this journey, or as Paul referred to it “the race,” is easily thwarted because the enemy doesn’t want us to finish it serving the Lord. He wants us to continue in our old ways and not be transformed into the godly men and women that the Lord has called us to be. God gave us free will, which means we have a choice in what we do and whom we serve! Yes, God loves us, but He doesn’t love the sin we are in, and that is where we have to make a conscious decision on how we live and what we allow into our lives.
Have you noticed that it’s easier to pick up bad habits than it is to get rid of them? There are four reasons why it’s so hard to clean out your bad habits:
