are you a self-disciplined person? if so, congratulations.....if not, it's time to think hard and long about your values, your priorities, and your habits. God's Word makes it clear that HE doesn't reward laziness, misbehavior, or apathy. to the contrary, HE expects believers (like you and me) to behave with dignity and discipline.
we live in a world where leisure is glorified and indifference is often glamorized-but God has bigger things in store for you. HE did not create you for a life of mediocrity; HE created you for far greater things. God has given you a unique assortment of talents and opportunities........and HE expects you to use them. but beware: it is not always easy to cultivate those talents.
sometimes, you must invest countless hours (or, in some cases, many years) honing your skills. and that's perfectly okay with God, because He understands that self-discipline is a blessing, not a burden.
when you pause to consider how much work needs to be done, you'll realize that self-discipline is not simply a proven way to get ahead, it's also an integral part of God's plan for your life. if you genuinely seek to be faithful stewards of your time, your talents, and your resources, you must adopt a disciplined approach to life. otherwise, your talents may go unused and your resources may be squandered.
so, as you plan for your future, remember this: life's greatest rewards are unlikely to fall into your lap; to the contrary, your greatest accomplishments will probably require lots of work and plenty of self-discipline. and it's up to you to behave accordingly. good day all of you !!!
quote of the day:
"A spiritual life without discipline is impossible. Discipline is the other side of discipleship. The practice of a spiritual discipline makes us more sensitive to the small, gentle voice of God." by Henri Nouwen
