Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. Proverbs 12:1

Discipline is difficult. It takes energy and work to be disciplined in anything.

• Praying takes discipline.
• Bible reading takes discipline.
• Exercise takes discipline.
• Learning a language takes discipline.
• Eating healthy takes discipline.
• Even dragging yourself out of bed every morning takes a certain amount of discipline.

But these are all disciplines that have fantastic payoffs for us and for others.

Putting more of these disciplines into our lives is not a bad thing at all. It just takes, well, discipline.
