My servant Paul compares his life to running a race to receive the prize. When you live life like this, you definitely have to discipline yourself to abide in Me, abide in My Word, and abide in My love.
I know how you dislike that word discipline, but it is necessary if you want to live a fruitful life in My kingdom.
I know you love to walk and feel the sun on your back as you look at the cloud formations in the sky. Somehow, you feel so very close to Me on those walks. I want you to do both: run and walk.
I want you to run to Me the moment you feel anxious, fearful, or burdened down with cares.
Then I want you to walk quietly hand in hand with Me as you listen to the still quiet voice of My Spirit.
Both walking and running are necessary to keep in good physical shape. The same is true about keeping in good spiritual shape. Try a little of both of these spiritual exercises each day, and you will be conscious of My presence with you as your journey through the day.
