Researchers have determined that it takes 66 days for a new behavior to become a habit. Alcoholics Anonymous reports that replacing a habit with an equally time-consuming habit yields the best results in kicking a bad habit. The brain cannot distinguish between good and bad habits and therefore it is difficult for the brain to unlearn them. Bottom line, the flesh wants what the flesh wants and that’s why we need Jesus!

We have to consistently renew our minds daily and walk in the Spirit. And renewing our minds takes us feeding it with things that are spiritual to replace and overcome things our brain tells us we want. We don’t need to smoke weed to feel better or forget our problems. We don’t need to make that purchase we can’t really afford to impress people we don’t really like. What we need is more Spirit. More Word. More Jesus. And with Christ it doesn’t take 66 days to break a bad habit. He already broke it for us on Calvary. We only need to accept what Christ did and start making good habits.
Break it today!
Heavenly Father, I realize there is freedom walking in the Spirit. I no longer have to give into my flesh, but instead, give my flesh to You. I will feed my Spirit with Your Word to replace the world that’s in my mind. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
