Chapter 7 The Path Well Trodden
Our life here on earth is our holy journey to our heavenly home. It is a difficult journey because we live in this worldly world. We are people needing a "spiritual" travel guide to help us stay on the narrow path that leads us to our heavenly home. The Bible surely is our road map and the Saints are surely our travel guides and role models. Through their successes and failures they give me hope and inspire me to continue on when I get lost or take a wrong turn on my journey. I like what he says about discipline. The word disciple is part of the word "discipline" and if I want to be God's disciple I must have discipline. Well, here is really where I fall short. On page 85 he says, "Those who develop this discipline go off in search of excellence and live richer, more abundant lives. Those who do not find this grounding in discipline do many things, but none well." I am challenged every day with disciplining myself, especially to spiritual reading, quiet prayer, etc. If I truly want to be a holy, humble obedient child of God I must surely work on discipline.
