God changes us from the inside out, and we live the rest of our lives knowing we are here for a reason.
God trains, guides, and directs us even when we don’t realize it.
Building self-discipline is what gives us the ability to bridge the gap between aspiration and victory.
Asking God for self-discipline won’t amount to much if your motive is not to love others.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
To experience a transformation in our lives we must embrace spiritual training and discipline.
God is always moving on behalf of the good. One thing he is always trying to do is make up for where we are lacking, and in this way he wants to be the parent we’ve always needed and desired.
Focus is giving a lot of attention, time, energy, etc. to one particular person, group, or activity. It’s having the ability to do one thing at a time, well done.
It is easy to try to rely on something as tangible as money for security. What are times in your life when you have faced guilt or regret, and relied on wealth or money, rather than turning to God for forgiveness?
God loves us and he guides us through discipline and training, just like a father who cares deeply for his children. How and where is God guiding your life?
Have you ever tried to change something, but given up after a few days?
With secure confidence in the saving power of God, we tightly grip the “sword of the Spirit”, which is God’s Word, and then march forward in our fight to rescue others from the darkness.
