  Before you climbed a high mountain, surely you would test all your equipment to see that it was sound and that the rope had no flaws in it, for your very life would depend on it. You would choose a good guide and would need to have absolute confidence in that person. You would have to be willing to follow the guide’s instructions and obey orders without question. So with this spiritual life. Until you have learnt discipline and obedience, until you choose to do My will and obey My voice, you cannot hope to start on this life of adventure. It would not be safe for you to do so. If you feel you are stuck in a rut, take stock of yourself and find out what it is deep within that is holding you up. What are you doing about self-discipline? Can you say ‘no’ to yourself yet? What about obedience? Are you willing to follow My will no matter what the cost?
  在我攀登一座高山之前,我肯定會測試我的裝備,看看它們是不是可靠的,繩索是不是沒有裂紋,因為我的生命會依賴於它們。我會選擇一個好導遊,並需要對這個人有絕對的信心。我需要願意去聽從導遊的指示,並沒有任何問題地遵從命令。
  這靈性的生活也是如此。直到我學習了紀律與遵從,直到我選擇實現上天的意願與聽從上天的聲音,否則我無法期望開始這冒險的生活。我這麼做,是不安全的。如果我感到卡在一個凹槽中,觀察我自己,並找出是什麼在內在深處阻擋了我。我在自律這件事上做了些什麼?我可以對自己說「不」嗎?那關於服從呢?我願意跟隨上天的意願,無論代價是什麼嗎?
