Spiritual disciplines are often duties before they become delights. If you only practice spiritual disciplines for immediate gratification then you’ll stop doing them. Spiritual disciplines require just that: discipline and delayed gratification. We have to press through this because when we practice these spiritual disciplines we are creating spiritual deposits of God’s resources that we need to navigate life well.

In order to motivate our hearts toward these spiritual disciplines we need two perspective changes about our time in the word & spiritual disciplines. 

Today we focus on The First perspective shift: The Bible is not about you. It is about what God has done for you.
