All of us have some sort of dream or vision—areas of our lives where we want to better ourselves or achieve more.
Maybe it’s to get in shape or have better physical health. Maybe you want greater financial stability or greater success in your long term dream. Some of you may be believing for greater ministry opportunities.
Whatever your goals are, there’s one thing for certain—it will be almost impossible to get there without discipline.
But here’s the truth: We can change. By the grace of God, we can begin making daily choices and developing new habits that will bring us the life we desire. We have to work hard at this every day!
Know Your Power Source
First and foremost, living a disciplined life and establishing new habits requires a lot more than just will power.
“ Whatever your goals are, there's one thing for certain—it will be almost impossible to get there without discipline and self-control. ”
Take a little time each day to read God’s Word and talk to Him. Some of my greatest breakthroughs have been the result of simply sitting quietly in His presence, letting Him know that I can’t do anything if He doesn’t make it happen.
You Can’t Have the “Perks” Without the “Works”
I believe a lot of people want the “perks without the works.” In other words, they want to have all of the good results without having to discipline themselves or take any of the responsibility to get them.
You see, although today we can microwave a meal, there’s no such thing as “microwave Christianity.” Because little by little, as we make right choices, He delivers us from our past and takes us where we need to be.
Yes, in the beginning, disciplining yourself will be difficult. It won’t feel good and you won’t like it. But every time you make a choice to do the right thing, the next time it gets a little easier. And you get one step closer to your goal.
Take a step today toward your dream!
Listen, anything counts and when we take a step God will direct and order...He is waiting for you to MOVE IT MOVE IT!
