R. Kent Hughes writes, “We will never get anywhere in life without discipline, be it in the arts, business, athletics, or academics. This is doubly so in spiritual matters. In other areas we may be able to claim some innate advantage. An athlete may be born with a strong body, a musician with perfect pitch, or an artist with an eye for perspective. But none of us can claim an innate spiritual advantage. In reality, we are all equally disadvantaged!”
“Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so…”
— 1 Timothy 4:8 (MSG)
Lord Jesus, help us to faithfully practice the spiritual disciplines so that You may accomplish Your holy purposes in us. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
