Posted by Jonathan Merigala “God has not given us the spirit of timidity but of power, love, and discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7). The Holy Spirit will eliminate all fear and timidity from your life and replace with power, love, and discipline.
No one can become truly spiritual, without discipline.
The fruit of the Spirit is self-control.
An undisciplined life is like a leaky vessel. No matter how many times it is filled, it will become empty again. It will have to be filled repeatedly.
Three areas in which you must seek to be more and more disciplined are: In the use of your time, money, and your time.
Romans 8:13 states that we must put the deeds of the body to death through the Spirit.
These are not deeds done from the heart—for such deeds would be deliberate sins.
These are deeds that come forth from the body because we allow the body to be undisciplined—for example, in the areas of overeating, laziness, or talkativeness.
The Holy Spirit wants to help us control our tongue especially.
Personal Reflection:
What do the Scriptures state about the use of time and money?
