Hebrews 4:14So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.

Trusting God to help and guide us should be an integral part of our daily routines.

Our lives should routinely display good deeds.

Job 1:5When these celebrations ended—sometimes after several days—Job would purify his children. He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself, “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

We should routinely read, study, meditate on, and apply God’s Word.

Deuteronomy 14:22“You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year.”

Giving to God’s work should be a part of our routine. In fact, our offerings to God should come first from our paychecks, before we purchase anything else.

Luke 4:16When he [Jesus] came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures.

We should routinely join with other believers to worship God.

Psalm 105:4Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him.

We should regularly search for God and his strength, practicing his presence by looking for and sensing his presence in or lives.
