Someone asked me one day this strange question: What is the worst thing that could happen to your life as a Christian? At the time I had no answer, but after thinking about it, I suppose my answer would be, “To stand before the Lord after I died and hear Him say, ‘Let me show you what your life could have been like if you had only done what I asked; if you had only been faithful to me; if you had only led a disciplined life and made it really count as I wanted you to.’”
I don’t want to waste the life that God created me to have. Do you? God will always bless faithfulness. A faithful person is one who lives his or her life by the principles of the scriptures. And have you ever noticed that the words “disciple” and “discipline” come from the same root? A disciple is a disciplined person. It is not always easy to follow God’s word. It takes discipline to be faithful. Ask God today for the discipline to be a faithful follower of His word for your life.
Thanks for doing these, Pastor Tim and Virgina! I sure appreciate them.
