Being Trained by Discipline

Scripture: Hebrews 12: [11] No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Observation: I’m currently going through discipline, I think. I’ve lost my job and I’m in a place where I’m not sure what to do. I’m seeking God’s voice each day, but I’m not trusting in him. That has been my lesson each time I face adversity is that I do the right things, pray and read, but I don’t fully trust.

Application: Seek God more in these times and instead of worry, pray. Pray for understanding and listen more to hear his voice call to me. His voice came in a soft whisper to Moses. Seek quiet time with the lord and receive my disobedience of not trusting as discipline and know when the time is over there will be work for me to do, his work.

Prayer: Dear Lord forgive this servant for his lack of faith. Guide me to do what is right and just in your eyes and direct my paths.
