Which is easier - to make your bed in the morning of leave it unmade? To volunteer for a community project or to watch TV all weekend? To vacuum, wash, and wax your car or leave leave it dirty? The easiest choices reflect the Second Law of thermodynamics: All work processes tend toward a greater state of disorder over time without fresh injections of new energy.
This law works physically and spiritually. leave your car parked in a field, and it will rust and fall apart. The same will happen to your spiritual life. Forget to maintain the spiritual disciplines you have learned and, in time, your life will take on increasing signs of disorder.
