The Habit of Discipleship

Having a Quiet Time is either a habit, or I bet you didnâ€™t have a Quiet Time this morning. If we think of discipline as forcing yourself to do something, a startling truth arises: discipline has a very small place in true Christian living. Habit is a huge part of Christian living..

Read any book on the spiritual disciplines and you will be encouraged to participate in a long list of disciplines. I recommend twoâ€”one, really. I recommend you embrace the habit of the Word and prayerâ€”the Christian Quiet Time.

I suggest a different model: instead of making yourself do fourteen things you donâ€™t want to do, get in the habit of one and only one thing: have a Quiet Time. Start your day with your Bible on your lap. Start your day in the Word and in prayer. As simple as this sounds, this one habit has the power to totally transform your life. If you will get in the habit of spending half an hour a day in prayer and in the Word, your life will be unrecognizable a year from now.
