Be Active - Chapter 1, Day 4

Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.  Ezra 10:4 (NIV)

We know a habit is developed by frequent repetition so in order to form a good habit, we must first do it and then we have to keep doing it.   As Nike’s famous slogan tells us Just Do It!!  We have to fight through the pain, through the awkwardness and keep on keeping on until it feels normal.  (My boot camp instructor will tell ya, when exercise feels normal & comfortable, change it up!)

I can make a plan.  I can schedule it on my calendar.   I can dream.  But until I do, until I become active, nothing changes.   As Joyce tells us “Activity is like flipping on a light switch. The power is there all the time, but it is not ignited until you flip the switch. We always have the ability to be active, but no energy flows until we actually get moving.”

You are more powerful than you realize.  In 2 Timothy 1:7, God’s word tells us that He did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline.   Take that power today and get moving.

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

How can you be active today in creating a healthy habit?   Just do it!!    (And leave us a comment below on how you are being active today!)

Prayer:  Father, helps us to put aside any fears, any excuses that hold us back.   I pray for each woman doing this study.  As fears and doubts start invading our minds, I pray we will turn to You and draw the power of the Holy Spirit to turn those doubts off & just do.  To be active, day by day, little by little to develop new healthy habits and break those bad habits that are keeping us from being the woman you created.   It’s in Jesus mighty name I pray, Amen.
