The Call to Spiritual Discipline: A Journey Worth Every Effort
Picture this: a twelve-year-old boy, consumed by passion for tennis, practicing six to eight hours daily during summer breaks. The smell of new balls, the sound of well-hit shots, the feel of hot courts beneath his feet. This dedication paid off when that young freshman earned second position on his high school's varsity team. This personal experience taught a profound truth: discipline is the indispensable key to accomplishment. In spiritual matters, this principle becomes even more crucial. As Paul commands in 1 Timothy 4:7, we must "train yourself to be godly"-language that carries the scent of the gymnasium, of spiritual sweat. While women typically outpace men in spiritual disciplines (church attendance statistics show 59% female versus 41% male participation), godly manhood requires intentional training. Think about it: would you expect to excel at any skill-playing an instrument, mastering a sport, advancing in your career-without dedicated practice? Of course not. Yet somehow, we expect spiritual growth to happen automatically, without the same level of commitment. The path to godliness requires specific disciplines that shape our character, relationships, and service to others.
