Today we finish up looking at this passage. Today we are going to look at verses 7-13. The author goes into great detail God’s discipline. Keep in mind as you read it that God has His best in mind. Verse 8 is interesting because what the author is communicating is that if you do not face trials or discipline from God then you are really not His child. God loves His children and He has made it clear that if He loves you, He will discipline you. Why? Because of what verse 11 says, “It will produce a harvest of righteousness and peace”. In Short God wants to develop our character, our faith, our love and ultimately use us to impact the lives of others. God has a plan for your life, and part that plan will include trials and discipline. As you face these times always keep in mind, “God has your best in mind”.
Father I must admit that while I am going through these times they hurt. Help me to realize that with no pain comes any gain. I want to grow; I want to see you at work in my life. Thank you for loving me enough to not let me stay where I am.
