Proverbs 3.11-12 – I like discipline when it comes to training for a race. I don’t like discipline when it’s because I did something wrong. Yet this passage, and others in Scripture, reveal the true intent of discipline. We may not like it and it does hurt, it is not intended to harm. Counter to our nature and thinking, it reveals the nature of God’s love toward those who are His children. He intends it to bring us back into right relationship with Him, further sanding away our flaws in order to become like Him in character. Can we learn from His discipline?
