Spiritual Disciplines are a way of sowing to the Spirit. The Disciplines are God's way of getting us into the ground, that he can work within us and transform us.
By themselves the spiritual disciplines can do nothing, they can only get us to the place where something can be done. They are God's means of grace. The inner righteousness we seek is not something that is poured out on our heads. For God has ordained the disciplines of the spiritual life as the means by which we place ourselves where he can bless us. Where can transform us.
Quoted from Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster
