"Are you driven by your habits?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

I discovered a new-born fawn lying in one of our horse pastures, almost stepping on it; not knowing there was a treasure at my feet. It kept trying until it managed to run away.

The next day I got on my tractor to mow that same pasture. The grass—and some weeds—grew faster than the horses could keep it down.

So I’m mowing on my tractor and enjoying a beautiful, sunny day. I approach the same area of the pasture where I discovered the fawn the day before. The thought occurs to me, “I’d better slow down just in case she returned to her birthing spot. No, I’m sure she wouldn’t do that after I scared her away.”

I slowed down anyway, just to make sure. And within seconds, the new fawn hopped up and ran away. She was lying down in the exact same spot.

Are you driven by your habits like this fawn? Returning to the exact same spot, despite its threat? Simply letting your habits drive your life?

Take a look at your habits today, searching for which ones serve you well and which ones don’t. Then ask God to coach you to keep some and discard the rest.
