Here are a list of suggestions from the book I just finished - Humility True Greatness by C.J. Mahaney.
He ends his book with these last two pages to give you a once over of what you just read in a very condenced way. This list is awesome and something that I am going to try and practice from now on. (Only with the Lord's Help :) )
Always:
1. Reflect on the wonder of the cross of Christ
As Each Day Begins:
2. Begin your day by acknowledging your dependence upon God and your need for God.
3. Begin your day by expressing gratefulness to God
4. Practice the spiritual disciplines -prayer, study of God's Word, worship. Do this consistently each day and at the days's outset, if possible.
5. Seize your commute time to memorize and meditate on Scripture.
6. Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.
As Each Day Ends:
7. At the end of the day, transfer glory to God.
8. Before going to sleep, receive this gift of sleep from God and acknowledge His purpose for sleep.
For Special Focus:
9. Study the attributes of God.
10. Study the doctrines of grace.
11. Study the doctrine of sin.
12. (play golf as much as possible) - probably won't be doing that one.
13. Laugh often, and laugh often at yourself.
Throughout Your Days and Weeks:
14. Identify evidences of grace in others.
15. Encourage and serve others each and every day.
16. Invite and pursue correction. (yikes)
17. Respond humbly to trials.
Hope you are encouraged (and scared) and much as I am
