Discipline is a word that most of My beloved would like to forget. However, to be My true disciple, one must be disciplined. I taught My disciples how to be disciplined in their prayer times, in the times of teaching, and in their words and actions. Peter especially had trouble with self-control.
It took his denial of Me three times for Peter to discover the secret to being disciplined. He learned that He had to totally depend upon Me, not himself, to be disciplined in every area of his life. I know how you fight the daily disciplines of prayer and Bible reading on the days when you are busy. However, I can always redeem the time that you spend with Me in the morning.
I am the author and finisher of your faith. Allow Me to be the author of your today and every day. Let Me write on your heart the things that are really important for you to do and to say today. Ask Me to help you be on the same page as what is written in your book of life. Give Me your whole being, yield to My Spirit, and soon you will discover that being disciplined is a delight.
