As time marches
on, discipline is harder and harder to find.
But no treasure of heaven can be
gained with out it. Prayer takes amazing discipline. Bible memorization
- even reading - these things take discipline. The assembling
of ourselves together (and not for entertainment) takes discipline.
While the world is spinning toward
the impending prophetic events, things around us are getting
more watery by the day.There is a subtile and sweet seduction
to the flesh that takes place each day all around us, and though
we are often not aware, our godly discipline can be eroded.
I can't just establish a way of
living and hum on to death - I need light! We all need
the Light that the Lord sheds broadly on the things in front
of us, in order to spend the hours and minutes for eternal value.
We are sojourners and pilgrims,
and we may not live as those who aren't.
Brothers and Sisters, in an era
of even spiritual apathy and the worship of recreation, let us
look to the One Who would not be distracted and allow Him to
work that discipline in us, moment by moment.
Don't forget, I will not a achieve
a place of spiritual discipline, but I can learn spiritual dependency
, and that will keep me seeing that the next thing on heaven's
agenda must be done.
