The promise of Canaan begins with accepting God’s purpose for our lives. When we learn our purpose we must communicate with God, take action and persevere in confidence. Our discipline and commitment must be directed towards acting on God’s purpose with confidence in God’s ability.
In “A Love That Shows Us The Way”, I discuss how the beginning of purpose is communication with God. Here are 7 daily practices to adopt.
Purpose, commitment, and discipline are the foundation of a relationship with God and an inheritance in his kingdom. In my last post, I discussed the role of discipline and the gradual progression of discipline that God expects of us on the journey to Canaan. In the desert, God’s goal is to discipline us to make us legitimate.
Discipline is a seed. It must be watered every day. Hebrews 12:11 tells us that discipline produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained it. In the desert, the Israelites felt the pain of being made into a great nation but God disciplines those he loves.
