Heavenly Discipline
Description
Whenever God disciplines me, it is for my ultimate good.
Whenever God disciplines me, it is for my ultimate good.
Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful; later on, however, it produces the peaceable fruit of righteousness for those who have been trained by it.
(Hebrews 12:10-11)
Lord,
None of us enjoys the painful school of discipline, but my confidence is in Your good intention to work this experiential teaching for my good so that I will grow in Christlike character. This brief period of earthly discipline will bring forth the eternal fruit of righteousness.
Amen.
