Found a wonderful article for developing self-discipline--something I've been struggling with lately. I especially like this sentence: "Self-discipline, from a biblical perspective, is more than a means to achieve personal success—it’s an opportunity to honor God, grow spiritually, and fulfill the purposes He has for our lives." From wisdomonline.org: Click here for complete article.

From My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers

 This portion of today's daily devotional, My Utmost for His Highest, hit me this morning. Maybe it's meant for someone else today as well:

The moment you realize that God's purpose is to get you into the right relationship with Himself and then with others, He will reach to the very limits of the universe to help you take the right road.

Nothing is more important in your life and my life than abiding in a close, loving relationship with our Father and Lord, Jesus Christ, and then with others. He wants that for us. Without Him, we can do nothing.
