A fruitful devotional life is built on consistent discipline. There will be times when you are blessed with a sense of divine presence. At other times the Word of God will open unto you in a special way. There may even be times when you experience a special manifestation of the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, times when the habits of your flesh fall away, but these are the exception rather than the rule. On the whole, the devotional life is more discipline than inspiration.
“I was up before sunrise,
— Psalm 119:147-148 (MSG)
…hoping for a word from you.
I stayed awake all night,
prayerfully pondering your promise.”
Lord, forgive us for being inconsistent in our devotional life. Help us to do better. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
