I AM DISCIPLINED - Hebrew 12:11
"No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way."
DEVOTIONAL
Discipline is more than just a word—it’s a way of life. It’s choosing to follow through on what you said you would do, even when motivation fades. It’s holding yourself accountable, even when no one is watching. It’s staying the course, even when distractions try to pull you away.
Many people set goals, but few actually accomplish them. Why? Because discipline isn’t built in moments of excitement—it’s built in the quiet, unseen moments when you choose obedience over comfort.
Proverbs 21:5 reminds us, "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty." The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t isn’t always talent or opportunity—it’s consistency.
Even Jesus demonstrated discipline. He prayed when He was tired, He served when He was weary, and He fulfilled His mission despite hardship. His commitment to obedience led to the greatest victory of all time. Likewise, when we commit to following through, we step into the life God designed for us.
Galatians 6:9 encourages us, "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Your discipline today is planting seeds for tomorrow’s harvest.
Stay faithful. Keep pushing. The reward is coming.
