The Discipline of Scripture.
Time alone with God in His Word, the Scriptures, is the colossal need of our lives. We should be separated from everyone else to be with God day by day! We have to discover times to be alone.
You will demonstrate to me the way of life; In Your quality of delight; At Your correct hand are joys forevermore. (Psalm 16:11)
The Lord God of the Universe needs to mastermind your life, and go with your through life, and approve everything required starting now and into the foreseeable future. Goodness, that is the best life there is.
The Discipline of Spirit-Filled Living.
Jesus clarified the Holy Spirit in our lives by utilizing the picture of a solid waterway of water streaming out of us. On the most recent day, that extraordinary day of the devour, Jesus stood and shouted out, saying, >"if anybody thirsts, let him come to Me and drink (display dynamic goal). He who trusts in Me, as the Scripture has stated, out of his heart will stream waterways of living water." But this He talked concerning the Spirit, whom those having confidence in Him would get; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, since Jesus was not yet celebrated. (John 7:37– 39)
Streams of water is the way Jesus depicts the typical existence of devotees, His kids.
The Discipline of Stewardship.
An existence offered back to God as an offering is the thing that stewardship is about. Stewardship isn't about cash; it is about existence itself. Time and life are far more noteworthy fortunes than cash and belonging. God needs you first and foremost!
A GODLY STEWARD KNOWS THAT GOD OWNS HIM AND EVERYTHING HE HAS.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:1–2)
and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. (2 Corinthians 5:15)
He who lays up treasures on earth spends his life moving in an opposite direction from his fortunes. To him, demise is misfortune. He who lays up treasures in paradise anticipates time everlasting; he's pushing every day toward his fortunes. To him, passing is pick up. He who spends his life moving far from his fortunes has motivation to lose hope. He who spends his life advancing toward his fortunes has motivation to cheer.

Is the progression of time making you and me sadness or celebration? God's kingdom was the reference point for these men. They saw all light of the kingdom. They were constrained to live as they didn't on the grounds that they cherished no things, but since they prized the correct things.
We frequently miss something in preacher saint Jim Elliot's well known words, "He is no trick who gives what he can't keep to pick up what he can't lose." Live a healthy life in christ today.
