       A lot of us create our own rules that we follow in our daily lives. What I mean is that we have certain routines, or practices, that we have created that aren’t necessarily mandated by Scripture but of which we do to try to keep things in order. We may read our Bibles for twenty minutes every morning after waking up. We might spend ten minutes in prayer every morning. Perhaps we go to Bible study every Wednesday night. Or we meet so and so for coffee on Saturday mornings to discuss Biblical things. So, we have these rules that we keep in order to try to follow what we perceive from Scripture that we need to follow. What I like to do, every once in a while, is violate these rules to keep them in check. I don’t want to become a robot. I don’t want to be going through the motions merely for the sake of going through the motions. So, every once in a while I might handle one devotional differently. Perhaps I’ll read something upon waking up that I normally wouldn’t read. I make sure I miss a Bible study every once in a while. I don’t want to just go every time because I feel I have to.
