Discipline — “Isn’t it true that we respect our earthly fathers even though they corrected and disciplined us? Then we should demonstrate an even greater respect for God, our spiritual Father, as we submit to His life-giving discipline. Our parents corrected us for the short time of our childhood as it seemed good to them. But God corrects us throughout our lives for our own good, giving us an invitation to share His holiness. Now all discipline seems to be painful at the time, yet later it will produce a transformation of character, bringing a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who yield to it.” (Hebrews 12:9-11, The Passion Translation)

Discipline seems to be a bad word in our culture of ‘ Have it Your Way’. Yet it can also be a great reward. Ask any athlete if they would achieve their trophies without living a disciplined life.

The same goes for being a disciple of Christ. We need certain disciplines in our lifestyles to see the rewards of joy, peace, and success. That’s true with any lifestyle. If we don’t learn to discipline ourselves, life will get way out of hand and have the lesser desired outcomes.

If you look around our world, we are reaping the consequences of a world gone without healthy discipline. Discipline doesn’t have to be a bad thing! The right type of discipline can bring lots of rewards to your life!

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
