Fantastic Friday #589 - Repeat

Repeat

The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. Hebrews 10:1-3

Do you get bogged down in those routines and repeat things continually? Are those routines bringing you closer to God or further away from Him. Many times we get tired and worn down and know that we might be far from God, but we tell ourselves we will stop that negative behavior and make a change tomorrow. While we cannot repeat something over and over again to receive more grace from our Father in Heaven, we can repeat sin over and over again and distance ourselves from Him. We need to focus on those routines that are going to bring us closer to Him and not distance ourselves. Prayer, scripture study and a regular relationship will bring those things forward.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
