Discipline and obedience

“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:” Isaiah 1:19

Sacrifice is the price tag for anything worthwhile. If it is needed, it will cost you something. Nothing falls on your laps without doing anything. If you want it, it is your duty to find out how much it costs and you pay. Discipline and obedience are necessary sacrificial steps you must take if you want anything in both spiritual and physical situations.

If you are willing you will discipline yourself to do what must be done at all cost. A willing student will not sleep until he has finished the assignment and prepared for the test. A willing business person will wake up on time to get to work. Discipline means telling your body what to do and not the other way round. Missing some meals and sleep will not kill you neither will hard work kill you.

Obedience has to do with specific instructions given to you to obtain a goal or desire.  It also has to do with the information you have received to achieve your goal. To obey is to respond positively to the information you have heard and believed. No information brings profit unless you do something about it. I discovered it is easier to obtain information than to do it. Most people have enough information to change their lives but their unresponsiveness is stagnating their lives.

I degree that the remain months this year will count positively for you; you will achieve your goals in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: O God help me to do what I need to do to achieve my goals in Jesus name.
