What does the Bible say about habits?

While the Bible doesn't use the word 'habits,' it teaches the importance of daily spiritual disciplines: meditation on God's Word (Joshua 1:8), regular prayer (Daniel 6:10), consistent worship (Hebrews 10:25), and self-discipline (1 Corinthians 9:27).

How do I build godly habits?

Start with consistency over intensity — small daily practices like morning prayer, Scripture reading, and gratitude. Follow the examples of Jesus (Luke 4:16) and Daniel (Daniel 6:10), who maintained spiritual habits regardless of circumstances.
