Discipline Brings Success
But if from there you will seek (inquire for and require as necessity) the Lord your God, you will find Him if you [truly] seek Him with all your heart [and mind] and soul and life. Deuteronomy 4:29
Proverbs 5:23 says that a person "will die for lack of discipline and instruction, and in the greatness of his folly he will go astray and be lost." That doesn't necessarily mean that a person will die immediately, but a lack of discipline leads toward deathly situations.
In his book A Pursuit of God, A.W. Tozier said (paraphrased) that God puts a desire in us to seek Him. But we have to discipline ourselves to seek Him. We can become too passive waiting for God to initiate a relationship with us. If you want to have a successful life, discipline yourself to seek God everyday.
