“Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but happy is he who keeps the law.”
Proverbs 29:18 (NKJV)

APRIL 2 - Habits determine our ultimate success or eventual failure in life. Our daily routines are critical to our success. There was a set routine put into place by growers to obtain olives for oil production. Just before the olives were ripe, they were either firmly shaken from the tree or nimbly beaten down from its branches with a light pole, tumbling to the ground like hollow rocks. This habit of harvesting is still a familiar Mediterranean sight in September and October when the olives are ready to be crushed for their oil.

If we create and maintain the right habits, we are propelled toward our dream every step of the way. On the other hand, if we put the wrong things into our lives, we actually are carried into the wilderness of life, headed toward failure and frustration.

Our daily habits are the avenue by which we accomplish our vision. If you don’t have a clear vision of what you want your life to become, how will you know which habits to create? It is impossible. Vision keeps us moving forward, driving us to obtain the reward of accomplishment. Without a clear vision, we become a wandering generality, aimlessly looking for a purpose in life. Let’s allow the vision of our lives to prompt us to establish routine responsibilities that are scriptural in nature, in addition to daily habits that are
Kingdom-building in purpose.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I have a vision for my life and I do not perish. I establish habits that cause me to be a success in everything I set my hand to.
