Hebrews 8 - Old Habits Are Hard To Break On My Own

I am very thankful that the old is now obsolete. Not just old covenant but the old me...

In reading the app today I kept repeating in my mind "that was me".

Reading books about the Bible instead on the Bible - That was me.

Listening to others talk about God but never being quiet myself to hear God - That was me.

Attending church but only going through the motions - That was me.

Asking others to pray for me but not praying for myself - This is still me.

I was and still am at times so guilty of having a religion instead of a relationship with God. I have a percentage in my head of what the religion/relationship percentage is for me right now in this moment. Think about what it is for you. Is it 80/20, 50/50. 99/1, 30/70?

For me this answer has been a spiritual check up. I am going to be in prayer for the old habits I see creeping back into my life. It will probably be a good idea for me to journal some of these thoughts that I am having so I can be purposeful in dealing with the head on instead of being distracted by the construction crew that just pulled up...
