Topic: Coached from Within
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. – 1 Corinthians 9:27
Recommended Reading:Â 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Yes, we must make the effort. Paul spoke of how he disciplined his body and brought it into subjection. Apparently he worked hard to ward off laziness, gluttony, immoral thoughts and actions, undue expressions of temper, and drunkenness. But his attempts were empowered by the work of the Holy Spirit within him, giving him both the desire and the power to do what pleases the Lord (Philippians 2:13).
God gives us the desire to do what we should do, and then He gives us the power to accomplish it. When we walk consciously and constantly with the Lord, we are coached from within by His Spirit, which is the most fulfilling life possible on this earth.
We need the rugged strength of Christian character that can only come from discipline.
