There is a marked difference between having good spiritual habits and allowing them to become mechanical. One of the definitions of the first word is: an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary. As to the latter, its meaning is: acting or performing without
spontaneity, spirit, or individuality; that is, automated.
Things such as daily Bible reading, prayer, witnessing, etc., are good habits until they become mechanical; then routine turns to rot. When what we do is “same-o, same-o,” it ends up being boring, and so do we. Variety is the mark of a healthy Christian. Doing the same thing everyday doesn’t have to mean doing it the same way. Break out of your mold!
