The Law of Discipline

There is a law or principle that is true of any discipline. Whether you are seeking to become better at a musical instrument, a sport, academics, or business practices, the following principle holds true: "the more I exercise or practice something, the stronger and more improved I will become." It's just one of those laws that can't be side-stepped, and its a principle that we all instinctively know to be true.

Jesus said that this principle ALSO applies to our relationship with Him. Look at what He said to His followers in Matthew 13:12:

Matthew 13.12, “To those who are open to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But to those who are not listening, even what they have will be taken away from them.” (NLT)

Think about that! The more that you seek after Christ and spend time listening to Him through reading His Word, the more that you will understand His ways. But if listening to Christ is not a priority in your life, your relationship with Jesus will become more and more shallow.
