"My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He punishes everyone He accepts as a son." Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? (Hebrews 12:6-8)
I guarantee that today's passage of scripture and Daily DEVO will be the least read or 'liked' on my facebook page this week. Why? Well, it's because the topic of discipline is just not very popular with most folks. As a father, I do not take pleasure or enjoy discipling our children, but know that I must to ensure that they learn right from wrong and grow up into fine young men.
Who loves a child more-the father who allows a child to do something that will cause the child harm or the father that corrects and trains his child and then punishes the child to help teach the child right from wrong?
If you ever need proof or confirmation that God loves you, look back into your past and the recognize the times where God has lovingly corrected you. His discipline is a sign of His undying love for each one of us.
Praise be to God, who disciplines those He loves!
