Bible Verses:

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

“But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.” - 1 Corinthians 9:27

There is a common misconception that discipline is a way to earn God's love or approval. Discipline is not about earning God's love but about appreciating the gracious gift of salvation through faith alone. Discipline is an act of worship and gratitude for the life God has given us.

Here are some of the thirteen hacks to be 99.9% more disciplined, remembering that the goal is to live for God, not to achieve material success or wealth.

Cancel your morning alarm: This is more about ensuring adequate rest and avoiding distractions.

Turn off all notifications to reduce distractions.

Clean out your pantry: It’s easier to avoid temptation than to fight temptation.

Delete useless decisions: Make decisions once and stick to them to avoid unnecessary time-wasting.

Hack your algorithm: Make social media content be something that can feed you and not deplete you.

So back to what discipline means: it is not for earning God's favor but for living a life that honors God. Just like athletes exercising self-control and discipline, we want to live with purpose and not aimlessly wander around.

Reflect on your own discipline and consider how you can live a life that honors God. Be faithful with the responsibilities and opportunities God has given you.
