Spiritual Disciplines for a Tuesday
I also know that spiritual disciplines are more than attitude. They are actions. It's one thing to sit in prayer and another to BE in prayer. Letting your prayer have hands and feet. Doing as well as being. They are not a character attribute -- "he's SO spiritual!" They are not an emotional feeling -- "she feels so spiritual!!" They are things that you DO. Like be in prayer while washing the raisins, reading the Bible, fasting, receiving communion, being totally with another person as they share their pain, visiting those in prison, burying the dead by actually using a shovel at the end of the service. You can do them for good reasons or even bad ones, but at the end the spiritual disciplines make you more like Jesus. Period.
