Discipline is the other side of discipleship. Discipleship without discipline is like waiting to run in a marathon without ever practicing. Discipline without discipleship is like always practicing for a marathon but never participating. But discipline in the spiritual life is not the same as discipline in sports.
In sports it is a concentrated effort to master the body so that it can obey the mind better. In the spiritual life, discipline is the concentrated effort to create the space and time where God can become our master and where we can respond freely to His guidance.
