Maintain self-Discipline to flourish

Maintain self-Discipline to flourish

1 Corinthians 9:27


Paul tells us, "But I discipline my body and keep it under control..." 
When we look at the life of an athlete, we see that they need to have so much of self-discipline. They have disciplined their bedtime, their meal and exercises etc. Discipline requires a lot of self-sacrifice and will-power- enough to sacrifice and sometimes let go some precious things in life and enough will power to run away from things which are detrimental to their growth. How much Christians are maintaining discipline themselves to gain the crown of everlasting life? If athletes must suffer tremendous challenges to win a crown which will ultimately rust and fade away.

We must remember that self-discipline is required in our everyday life, and It is impossible to do without the Holy Spirit's help. We will not be able to achieve discipline on our own. When the Holy Spirit comes into our life, He helps us in becoming self-disciplined and provides us the motivation to stay on the path or track. We must recognize that we cannot save or serve others unless we have self-control. How disciplined are we when it comes to daily exercise and walking with the Lord? I want to hear from you on the comment section below.

God bless you!
