Scripture:
“...God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:10-11 (NIV) Application: "Everything would be fine, if only this one thing were fixed..." We say it all the time. Just one thing needs to be removed, added, or made better. But there's a reason why "that one thing" is a problem. It might be God's Way of disciplining us. Discipline isn't the same as punishment. Discipline makes us better. Being better makes us more like Jesus Christ. Being more like Jesus Christ makes God happier with us, and makes us happier with ourselves. Discipline, given and accepted the right Way, is good. Prayer: Thank You Father, for caring enough about us to discipline us. Help us see what You are doing when times are rough. Give us endurance, please. Amen.
