“But consider the joy of those corrected by God! Do not despise the discipline of the Almighty when you sin. For though he wounds, he also bandages. He strikes, but his hands also heal.
Job 5:17-18 NLT
Discipline has such a negative connotation, but in God’s kingdom, it’s crucial. God disciplines his children to see us mature and prosper. And if you think about it, one of the fruits of the spirit is self discipline. We are called to keep ourselves in alignment, but we’re humans. We will make mistakes, yet God’s grace is present to heal. Today, we’re reminding ourselves that discipline is necessary.
Reflect – What areas of your life are suffering due to a lack of discipline? In your own words, Pray that God refreshes your perspective on His discipline and self-discipline…
