To everyone who feels like life is getting the best of you right now, remember that God still loves you. You are still very much in the will of God. All is going according to plan. Trust that there is a bigger picture. Trust that life is indeed unfolding as it should. One thing that does help is to always remember to start each day by giving it to the Father.
-I just wanted to say that before i went into my thoughts on discipline.
moving on...
- In order to live a Christian life, one must have discipline
~A few rewards of discipline:
1) a lifestyle that is more orderly and less stressful
2) more productive
3) makes a positive impact on others
4) opens doors of opportunity
5) enables you to reach your goals (through Christ)
* discipline not desire determines our destiny. You may want to live right, but if you're not disciplined...
[and discipline doesn't just include what you do as flesh but also in spirit. Being discplined enough to ask God to step into your situation and help you resist temtation, for example, takes discipline]
Q: Name something of great value that doesn't take discipline to acheive it?
- Do you practice discipline in your relationship with God? with your relationships with other people? how you dress? what kind of music you listen to?
~To develop discipline:
1) decide today to read a portion of the word every day
2) pray to God everyday; not just about your needs, but just to talk to him and get closer to him and praise him, and to learn more about him..
3) tithe your income
4) attend worship every week so you can deepen and strengthen your relationship with God.
