Encore Episode: What Does Self-Discipline Look Like in Our Homes?

Self Discipline is essential to spiritual growth and it is useful in our lives in so many ways. Living lives that are disciplined means saying, “yes” to God in every area of our lives.

Jesus is our ultimate example of what it looks like to live a disciplined life. He chose both dependence and obedience to His Father. As Christians, we too are called to dependence and obedience to our Father.

Self-discipline is primary to our spiritual growth. In 1 Timothy 4:7 We are called to discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness. It means to exercise control over one’s self. It’s the ability to keep ourselves under control.

 

My Practical List:

1. Spend time with the Lord daily
2. Take care of the tasks that are most difficult early in the day.
3. Make sure you finish what you start.
4. Take the time to get organized - one room at a time.
5. Learn to deny yourself.
