3Ds: Desire, Discipline, Delight

To love Jesus is to long with Him But that longing is not enough There is a need *To structure our lives * Around spending time with Him. To desire also means to be disciplined And then, we found ourselves Delighting in the Lord. It captures the essence Of what it takes To develop a consistent devotional life. You can be motivated with great desire, But without discipline You will never get there Discipline positions us To receive grace; Discipline is not grace It is the submission of our heart To encounter the grace of God. It is not about whether God loves us — His love is sure Whether we are disciplined or not — But it is our wholehearted response To Him that allows us to find Him. One must delight in the Lord And shear every misfitting And earthly delights.

“It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it, and many people shall come and say: “Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths,” For out of Zion shall go the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” – Isaiah 2:2-3 (ESV)
