There is Freedom in Discipline

When you think about discipline, rarely do people associate that word with freedom.

Think about what freedom means.... Freedom from bondage of any kind. Freedom from financial stress. Freedom from physical fatigue. Freedom from emotional stress. Etc.

When you CHOOSE to discipline yourself in any of these areas.... Physical, emotional, spiritual, etc. with it comes quite a bit of restraint. WHY?!?!?

I don't know about you, but it is so annoying when I go through the agony of self examination, set forth a plan to change, and then NEVER do anything! The pain of that first step is just irritating.

So why do we set forth goals to begin with? IT IS SO WE WILL HAVE FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE IN THAT AREA OF OUR LIFE!!!

Why do we feel like we need to loose weight? So we will have FREEDOM from the ill feeling of being unhealthy.

Why do we feel like we need to have a steadier prayer life? So we will have FREEDOM from not being in vertical alignment!

Why do we feel like we need to adhere to a stricter budget? So we will have FREEDOM from debt and over time come out on top!

So today when you think about those goals you've set aside and forgotten about, remember WHAT FREEDOM YOU'RE GIVING UP FOR NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH!
