A proper gym workout regimen includes cardio, upper body, lower body, core and back routines. It is counterproductive to spend all of the workout time on only one area of the body, because true useful strength comes from the development of every part of the body.
It is the same idea in spiritual disciplines. We have to develop every area of our spiritual person. We must spend time reading the Bible, spend time in prayer, time in worship, be faithful in financial stewardship, and time in fellowship. The long-term continued faithfulness to these spiritual disciplines will make us sharper, stronger, and more effective for the Kingdom.
We have to continue them even though in the short-term we may not see any benefit. The benefit will come, but only through discipline.
