But as Charles says in his book, a habit can be changed when you associate a habit with a certain cue and determine a reward. For example, if I want to spend time in worship each morning, I need to identify the current habit hindering that from happening. Maybe currently you hear the alarm, hit the snooze and sleep another hour.
In order to change that, you need to associate the habit of morning worship with the alarm. The reward could be a closeness with Christ throughout the day that you wouldn’t experience otherwise. See how that works? It’s all about training yourself to develop a worship habit, and live in the reality that worship is a lifesytle.
What’s Next?
When I say the words “habit” and “automatic” I don’t mean mindless, boring, heartless action. I mean, like Aristotle says, “We are what we repeatedly do.”
Therefore, to become a worshiper, we need to repeatedly embrace the fact that worship is a lifestyle. I want that action to become as natural as breathing, brushing my teeth, and eating my meals. Because it’s of even higher importance.
