Discipline: Training to act in accordance with rules.
This has been on my heart lately. Most of my life I have struggled with living a lifestyle of discipline. Because discipline doesn't happen over night its a daily lifestyle. I love starting my day out with God and exercise, with this said it happens about twice a week. I'll start my week off GREAT then slowly start setting my alarm later and later, then a SNOOZE and another SNOOZE...Who here can relate to this? This is a cycle that I'm daily making a choice to break.
So I began to pray for discipline and right after I began to pray for more discipline I had a slap in the face from God it felt like. I was listening to a preacher/mentor in my life on a Saturday evening recently and he began to speak on DISCIPLINE!!!! I was like OKAY God what do you want me to learn from this. This was the BIG slap in the face that has changed my mindset and my life. My whole perspective has changed in that I am THANKFUL! Here is what Pastor Adam Had to say:
"Quit praying to be more disciplined act on it and make it a daily lifestyle. Daily get up when you don't feel like it. Do your school work, dont just expect a good grade."
My whole life was rocked that Saturday evening. I would pray for discipline but nothing would "happen" until I put action into my life. So if you are looking for a life change act on it with Faith!!!! God wants us to all be disciplined! Pray for it but also ACT on it!!
week 2 goal: Find an area you want to be more disciplined in and start making changes today. God is ready to move in your life in a different way this year!!!
