“Hold fast to discipline, never let her go, keep your eyes on her, she is your life.” Proverbs 4:13. Quite often we are disciplined at the beginning stages of our spiritual lives. But sooner or later most of us give in to complacency, idleness, lukewarmness or laziness. Very soon we will realise that all our hard-earned spiritual gifts are gone! Therefore, let us take great care to hold fast to discipline and self-mortification, repelling far from us any feeling of self-satisfaction the Enemy may try to instil within our souls.
