Practice makes perfect or so the say, practice, practice, it’ll be better another day. And there are many things in life to practice, good behaviour, new skills, kindness, patience, faith and more. So many good things to practice, but what about the things we shouldn’t practice?
Go: Things We Shouldn’t Practice
All quotes are from the NIV.
You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. Leviticus 18:3
9 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the Lord your God. Deut. 18:9-13
No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence. Psalm 101:7
For fools speak folly, their hearts are bent on evil: They practice ungodliness and spread error concerning the Lord; the hungry they leave empty and from the thirsty they withhold water. Is. 32:6
“‘Because you did not remember the days of your youth but enraged me with all these things, I will surely bring down on your head what you have done, declares the Sovereign Lord. Did you not add lewdness to all your other detestable practices? Ezekiel 16:43
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. Matt. 7:26
“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The poison of vipers is on their lips.” Romans 3:13
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Rev. 21:8

Today’s write 31 days challenge is the word practice. Are you taking part?
I really like the way you approached this one. Taking a look at “don’t” is a very good way to help us see clearly the “do”.
It’s hard sometimes, to see what we aren’t to do, but seeing the don’t do, makes the do more obvious.
