Others involved gratitude, worship, study, or acts of obedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While thousands of years have passed, many of these spiritual practices continue to influence religious life today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are seven spiritual habits that were common in ancient Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
