Discipline

Job 5:17 Behold happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth He chaseneth, and scourgeth every son whom He recieveth. Love this about God the fact that because He loves us He disciplines us. He corrects us or He chaseneths us because He loves us too much to see us go the wrong way. He shows that discipline is not a bad word or not a bad thing, but a sign of love. In todays society and culture discipline is seen as something harmful and because men want to do whatever they desire and we have the mindset of " don't tell me what to do". We have lost the value of discipline and now fail to see the love behind correction that it is for our own good. God has a perfect plan for our lives, but we must be sculpted and molded to fit in it. Sometimes that means we need cut on to make the shape we must become. So consider it love the next time you recieve discipline because it mean" He's still working on me, to make me what I ought to be"
