Saturday, 25 November 2023 Today’s Word of Hope:Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.Proverbs 10:17 (NIV) Being disciplined is not a colorful thing. It restricts and curtails many of our wayward, casual, or carefree living. Discipline is painful at times. Yet, the Bible insists on the importance of a disciplined life to escape condemnation. We, being the descendants of the fallen parents, are prone to commit mistakes and sin because of our sinful nature. Unless tamed without leniency, our sinful nature prefers to dwell in sin and darkness. Therefore, it is essential to starve our sinful nature, crucify our flesh, and feed the inner man with all sorts of godliness and spiritually nourishing food. This whole process is about disciplining ourselves. The Holy Spirit is within us to guide us in every step, transforming us into the image of God. # If we listen to the discipline of the Holy Spirit, we can escape the enemy’s snares and overcome the temptations of sin.# A disciplined life will help us walk in holiness and a God-pleasing life.# Do not despise God’s discipline and ignore the importance of being disciplined in life. Prayer: Lord Jesus, please help me be well disciplined and live a life that pleases you. Amen.
