Variety Anyone?

When we have a routine we have to change it up a little every now and then or it stops doing us good. When we exercise the same way every day our muscles adapt and cease to grow stronger. Small changes in that routine can give us radical results physically. Its the same spiritually. During softball season when I played I wouldn't drink cokes at all. Not a drop. Because of that my workouts went better, I got stronger, faster, and lost like 15 pounds. If such a dramatic change happened just because I made the small change of not drinking cokes what would cutting out tv or video games do for our spiritual life? We all have things that we absolutely love and use all the time. I love to read. Books are my favorite thing in the world. A while back I fasted from books for 40 days during a bible study my youth group was doing. It was terrible! I had nothing to do. But one day as I was in my room it hit me. 'Since I can't read why don't I pray?' This was before I was truly saved but it still made a difference in my life. Even now sometimes I'll lay down the book in my hands and begin to pray. Little things like that make all the difference.
