FASTING & PRAYER DAY 4

BE MORE…DISCIPLINED

Have you ever wondered what is so different about the person that makes a determination to excel? Have you noticed how runners in a race all run like they have already won? Some start out fast; some pace themselves at a slower rate, and then there are those who seem to take it in stride, confident that they will accomplish what they set out to do. They never give up before the race is over. “Practice makes perfect” is a true saying and runners adopt this attitude by disciplining themselves to be ready for whatever challenge lies ahead. They can run in the heat, the rain, and even cold weather. Their bodies have been disciplined to withstand the elements.

So, too, the Apostle Paul reminds us to discipline ourselves by the Word of God so that we can not only stay in the race, but also complete it in a way that brings glory to God. Discipline for the believer is achieved when we read and obey the Word, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. Discipline yourself today to let God’s Will for your life be your will and act on it daily. ASK the Lord to teach you how to submit yourself daily to HIS Will.
