a new way to see it

One of my Bible professors spoke some wisdom yesterday that really changed my understanding of spiritual disciplines.

He said, "We have spiritual disciplines, NOT to become more spiritual. Being disciplined is not a way to become closer and more intimate to God, it is a response to situations that are presented to us. We fast, as a response to a situation..." -Scot McKnight

Really changed the way I see it.
