Until this morning. Today I chose to walk the labs up the road instead of down into the lower pasture. I knew that there were some turkey hunters out in the back fields, and I was reluctant to chase the turkeys towards them or to encounter them on our walk. So Ebony, Velvet, and I went the opposite direction from our normal route.
Pepper was frantic. And when Ron opened the gate, he flew out of the gate, not even stopping to tell Ron he was so slow today. Pepper just wanted to catch up with us. All of the dogs were excited that we were doing something different, and we were literally halfway through the walk before Pepper finally calmed down enough to come grab Ebony’s leash and tell me that we were walking the wrong way today.
What habits do you have? Are they habits that make no sense? Are they habits that don’t really belong in the life of a Christian? God’s holy days are the perfect opportunity to examine our lives. Get rid of those things that are ungodly. Throw out the sinful. Eschew the time wasters. Check the habits to see if they glorify God. Keep your eyes on your Master and the path He wants you to follow.
