Bridge!
Good Morning Holy Spirit - Daily Devotion
Good Morning Friend, It's a delight to meet you in this start of the week through this devotion. Today its a reminder for us about accomplishments. We all have a list to accomplish. It could be in a day or in a week or in a year/few year or at a particular matter or things. The desire for fulfillment commences from a goal a person envision, plan and commit to achieve.
Do you wonder why the title was mentioned as bridge then?. A bridge is a structure built over something (as water, a low place, or a railroad) so people can cross or something that joins or connects. I read this statement from Jim Rohn as the "Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments". How true!
Are we disciplined enough to meet the fulfillment of our goal? May be we have been yearning for a long time on our spiritual journey with God, to lose weight , stay strong & healthy, to become financially stable, emotionally stable etc. However, we fail to build (fail to remember the truth) the bridge which is discipline.
Howsoever we try we could not keep up with our disciplines. Are we tired of ourselves? Do we condemn ourselves that its not doable with me? Actually, it is not the case. We will see what the word of God tells us about ourselves.
Paul writes this as a reminder to Timothy and helping him to overcome stating that you are given with a gift of God and its your responsibility to fan into flame the gift of God.
2 Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Paul reminds Timothy to exhibit self-discipline which is a fruit of the Holy spirit. It is also a reminder for us of the fact on the gifts which has been given to us by God - no timidity but power, love and self-discipline.
Having knowing the truth, let's focus on the bridge that is self-discipline to accomplish greater things this year! Holy- Spirit will help us to build this bridge to fulfillment through our lives which will bring forth blessing to us and to others around us.
