The Father’s Discipline

Scripture: Hebrews 12: 7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

Observation: When I go through hardships I feel like I’m being punished, not disciplined. I wonder what I might have done wrong instead of asking my Father what He is teaching me. When I look back, I can see the lesson He was showing me and how it made me stronger in bringing me closer to Him.

Application: Next time I go through a hardship I need to get down on my knees and ask my Father what should I be learning from this, and thank Him for the opportunity to draw closer to Him.

Prayer: My Father open my eyes and teach your child. Discipline me in the way I should go and don’t ever give up on me, please.
