Refocus on Discipline
As summer ends, August is a perfect time to recommit to your core values of discipline and diligence. These values are essential for your ongoing personal development and dedication to firearms.
This month, learn how incorporating discipline into your everyday routine can enhance your spiritual journey and improve your shooting skills. Gentlemen, simply put, I’m presenting to you a self-improvement challenge to be more productive and effective in life by building up your confidence, competence, and integrity.
The Book of Proverbs clearly defines God’s guidance in matters related to your everyday life.
“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”
Proverbs 27:17 (NLT)
Because we are naturally prone to easily slip back into old behaviors and attitudes, the Guys, Guns & God Guide extends and enhances God’s guidance with tools to help you identify the areas of your life needing improvement. Building up your confidence will help you learn to think for yourself and react accordingly, and for some, it’s a skill set never experienced or it was inappropriately taught.
Shooting sports and living well takes practice, wisdom, and discipline. Discipline and diligence are often the most challenging aspects of pursuing spiritual and firearm development. The reward is building personal responsibility that you will carry with you for a lifetime and make you a person of high integrity.
Always Learning
This month’s Proverb allows us to refocus on discipline and diligence in daily life.
“Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise. Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair.”
Proverbs 1: 2-3 (NLT)
Meaning: The goal of this Proverb is to describe and instill “wisdom “in God’s people, a wisdom that is found in the verse, “Fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs. 1:7 NLT). Only when a person completely trusts in God will he be truly wise. The person who lacks humility in the presence of God and the willingness to learn from Him will inevitably fail and go astray. Everything about successful living concerns God, and He will help you achieve positive outcomes.
