COMMENTARY PEARL

From Trial To Triumph
   The master musician knows that suffering 
precedes glory and acclaim. He knows the hours, days, 
and months of grueling practice and 
self-sacrifice that precede the one hour of perfect 
rendition when his efforts are applauded. 
   The master craftsman knows that years of 
work, sacrifice, and suffering as an apprentice 
precede his being promoted to the master of his 
trade. 
   The student knows that years of study, 
self-denial, and commitment precede the triumphant day of 
graduation with honors. 
   Astronauts spend years training for a 
flight that can be as short as a few days. 
   The Bible teaches that sacrifice and 
discipline are necessary if we are to be faithful 
servants of Christ. Paul wrote, "I discipline my body 
and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have 
preached to others, I myself should become 
disqualified" (1 Cor. 9:2 7). 
      Discipline Your Time... 
      Discipline Your Eyes... 
      Discipline Your Mind... 
      Discipline Your Body...
      All For The Sake Of Christ.
   How we spend our time, what we see 
(psalms 119:37), and what we think about (2 
Corinthians 10:5), matter.  Our entire existence is to 
be a living sacrifice to the God who created us 
and awaits us in Glory.  [Hope for Each Day by 
Billy Graham]
