Become Disciplined

Wisdom of Solomon 6:17“For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love; ¹⁸And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption; ¹⁹And incorruption maketh us near unto God: ²⁰Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom. ”

It's a decision.
Are you allowing the enemy to steal what little time that you have been given on this earth? You were given this one life. This one opportunity to live to do something to prove something to who? To your creator? Or maybe just to yourself?

Will you overcome?

Discipline is something you can become; but not something that will happen quickly or naturally. Our flesh is Weak, Lazy, Undisciplined. We must decide to become disciplined so that when we are not motivated we will still so those things that will please our creator. Christ, our example, said that he knew his Father heard him because he ALWAYS did those things that pleased HIM. ( John 8:29)  Christ was a man with all the weaknesses and temptations that we face including being undisciplined. (Hebrews 2:18)  He CHOSE to always do the things that please the Father.  What a creator that loves us so that he mandated rest once a week!!! Are you kidding me and people say it is hard to follow someone who even looks out for your weak flesh by giving a day off????

Discipline is necessary, so that when you are unmotivated or uninspired you will continue on the path that you have chosen because of your discipline. The enemy says do what thy wilt. What feels good or what is the easy route.  The Most High is calling us to a higher path. One that will require you to sacrifice you feelings, your will and your flesh on the altar of servant-hood and choose Him above all  else. He who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not fit.   Count the cost. Consider the consequences. Determine the course of action and get determined running for your reward.  Choose  THIS day whom you will serve. The Creator who holds eternal life or your temporal self????
