The prophet Jeremiah, in his writings in the scripture concerning accepting God’s discipline, made the following statement…
Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure—not in your anger, or you will reduce me to nothing. – Jeremiah 10.24
—
Any good father will discipline a child he loves. He does this to protect them and guide them in the proper way to live. In the same way, God disciplines His children that He loves. His discipline is used to protect them from danger and to guide them into right living.
What is the benefit of accepting God’s discipline?
If we are sensing the discipline of God, know that we are loved by Him. Also know that He is leading us to what is best for us. It may not seem that way as we are going through the discipline, but in the end we will realize His best.
