Disciplined Christians understand that God doesn’t reward laziness or misbehavior. To the contrary, God expects His believers to live lives that are above reproach.
Proverbs 28:19 says, “He who works his land will have abundant food, but he one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.”
So remember, we can expect a bountiful harvest if we work diligently and consistently. But we must never expect the harvest to proceed the labor. First, we must lead lives of discipline and obedience; then, we will reap the never-ending rewards that God has promised.
