REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 8….. EMBRACE DISCIPLINE

I mentioned discipline yesterday, and want to reinforce it’s importance today.

Many people avoid discipline and don’t even like talking about, but the truth is discipline is not your enemy.  A man without discipline of character can never be said to belong to himself, he belongs to whatever takes him captive.  What’s got you held captive?

2 Timothy 1:7 tells us, “God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.” (NIV).

So, it’s in you – you just need to activate it.  A disciplined person is a healthy person, one who is control of his life, one who has a vision and is prepared to pay the price to see it come to pass.  A disciplined person is one who is prepared to do those things that aren’t enjoyable, aren’t fun but must be done – and with a good attitude.

Discipline is your friend given to you by God.
