Today's Verse - Proverbs 3:11-12 (KJV)

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

—Proverbs 3:11-12 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Discipline, even when it is not falsely confused with punishment, is considered onerous, irritating, and unnecessary. The lazy and sinful part of us wants no boundaries, even if they are good, and no direction because it might conflict with what we want to do. But the Lord disciplines out of love to bless us. It is a sign of his delight. Why? Because he is not content to leave us unchanged, unmotivated, and disinterested. He wants to move us closer to our goal: Jesus!

My Prayer...​

I confess, Righteous Father, I don't like discipline all that much. However, Father, deep down I know that your discipline is for my good and my spiritual blessing. Please help me better know and use the situations in my life to become more like Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.

God the Father loves everyone who comes to Him with repented heart. Now, if we failed to do His will and did not obey what He said, then chastisement may come to us. If something is going wrong in your life, then it is time to recall what you have done.
