What is the definition of the word
routine? It means "regular, unvarying,
habitual, procedure, constantly, repeated
formula, as of speech or action." Your life
actually began this morning when you
opened your eyes. What is your routine
just before you go to sleep and first thing
when you wake up? Is it strife? Let's see
what The BOOK says about it in the
Second Covenant. Take a look at the letter
the Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians
in Chapter 4:22-27 of the Amplified Bible,
Classic Edition:
Strip yourselves of your former nature
[put off and discard your old unrenewed
self] which characterized your previous
manner of life and becomes corrupt
through lusts and desires that spring
from delusion; and be constantly
renewed in the spirit of your mind [having
a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], and
put on the new nature (the regenerate
self) created in God's image, [Godlike] in
true righteousness and holiness.
Therefore, rejectingall falsity and being
done now with it, let everyone express the
truth with his neighbor, for we are all
parts of one body and members one of
another. When angry, do not sin; do not
ever let your wrath (your exasperation,
your fury or indignation) last until the
sun goes down. Leave no [such] room or
foothold for the devil [give no
opportunity to him].
Look now what our God said through
His prophet, Isaiah, in Chapter 55:9-10,
AMPC:
For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are My ways higher than your
ways and My thoughts than your
thoughts. For as the rain and snow
come down from the heavens, and
return not there again, but water the
earth and make it bring forth and
sprout, that it may give seed to the
sower and bread to the eater....
Read verse 11, and shout about it!

There is a command statement in
Philippians 2:3-6: "Let nothing be done
through strife or vainglory; but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem other
better than themselves. Look not every
man on his own things, but every man
