About this listen

In this devotional, we focus on 1 Timothy 1:7 and the truth that God has given us a spirit of self-discipline. Self-discipline is essential for living a purposeful and intentional life. Biblically, discipline has two main aspects.
First, discipline is self-control: as we walk with God, the Holy Spirit produces self-control in us as one of the fruits of the Spirit. Second, discipline is God’s loving correction: when God corrects us, it is not to shame us but to shape us, because He loves us and is proud of us. The bar is set high on purpose. Choosing God daily and striving for a standard we often fall short of can be mentally and emotionally exhausting, but we are reminded in Proverbs 3:11–12 that “the Lord disciplines those He loves.”
We also looked at 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, where Paul talks about training his body so that every step has purpose. He is not “shadow boxing,” but living with clear intention. Likewise, when we choose the narrow road, we know it is hard—but at the end of that road is blessing, and God Himself. He isn’t only waiting for us at the finish; He is walking with us, guiding us, and giving us strength along the way.
Our part is to practice self-control and remain disciplined. And when we drift to the left or to the right, God’s loving discipline brings us back, keeping us on the narrow road that leads to Him.
