42. Disciplines that Shape You

When we think about what God uses to shape us, people, books, and practices play an important role. The apostle Paul encouraged Timothy to “discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness” (2 Peter 3:18). It’s that time of year when discipline becomes a priority in our lives. What comes to mind when you think of the word discipline? Physical exercise, training children, or personal habits that help you grow spiritually?

Psalm 84:7 says we will go from strength to strength. So let's start where you are. Maybe this is your first day in the spiritual gym and you can only do one push-up. You might be able to take one of these disciplines and add them to your life.
