The walk with Jesus is a walk of discipline. That is why we are called disciples. That is why following Him is called discipleship. But discipline is not gritting your teeth and doing what you do not want to do. Discipline is having a heart open to being led by God. It is having a mind that is willing to be taught His ways. When I participate in a discipline, like fasting, I am saying, “Here I am, Lord. I am ready to sit at Your feet and learn from You.”
Master, teach me some of Your ways today. And grant me the discipline to do the things You teach me to do.”
