Scripture:
Hebrews 12:6-7 “because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?” (NIV)
Interpretation:
God’s discipline is a loving act, not punishment, aimed at our spiritual growth.
It shapes our character, correcting disobedience and guiding us to righteousness.
Embracing His discipline fosters deeper trust and a humble spirit of obedience.
Application:
How have you experienced God’s loving discipline, and how did you respond?
Action:
Reflect on a recent challenge, asking how God might be shaping your obedience through it.
Today Take-away:
God’s discipline leads to obedience.
Short prayer:
Loving Father, thank You for Your discipline. Help me to receive it with humility and grow in obedience. Amen.
