Holding fast to discipline

“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, lukewarm-ness 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.
