LEARN FROM THE MASTER. For many people, the term discipline is not high on their list of favorite words. However, when it comes to our relationship with God, spiritual disciplines are vitally important. How can we find life-giving joy through spiritual disciplines? Look to the example of Jesus. He practiced and taught how to have a vibrant relationship with God the Father through a life of spiritual disciplines. Following the Master’s example will give us what we need to fuel our relationship with the Father.
