Discipline

Jn. 8:31,32 Message ..."If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure; Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you. Are you tired of the same old, same old, day in, day out? If so, it is going to require change on your part. What is it Jesus is telling them to stick with? One translation says, "If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples..." When you and I decide to abide in God's Word as a daily part of our routine, we will find the needed strength to live a disciplined life. This alone will require discipline. I heard one person say, "If you will begin the day by making one simple change in your daily routine, maybe it's getting up 10 min. early so that you are not late, START THERE. If it is exercising 20 min. a day, START THERE. If it is filling out that new job application, START THERE." Decide today that you are going to spend time in God's Word, even if it's 5 min., START THERE. You will find that the truth of the Word carries within it the very things you need to live a disciplined and successful life. START THERE!
