Embracing Discipline

Alright, family, let's talk discipline! Paul tells us that every athlete exercises self-control in all things. Discipline is key in our spiritual race. It’s not always easy, but it's so worth it.

1 Timothy 4:7-8 says, "Train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come." Just like athletes train their bodies, we need to train our spirits.

Discipline in our spiritual lives means making daily choices that align with God's Word. It's about saying "no" to distractions and "yes" to God's calling. When we practice discipline, we grow stronger in our faith, just like muscles get stronger with exercise. This daily commitment transforms us and prepares us for the challenges we face.

Set a specific time each day for prayer and Bible study. Create a routine that helps you stay disciplined in your walk with God. Remember, discipline leads to growth, and growth brings us closer to our prize.
