Do Not Despise the Lord’s Discipline!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who accept the Lord’s discipline. In Jesus’ name, amen.
The word “reproof” has several synonyms including scolding and reprimand.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV) tells us, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
Proverbs 3:11-12 (ESV) is about having a proper attitude about the Lord’s discipline.
“My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights.”
How will you react when you are reprimanded by the Lord? Rather than be upset, realize God’s loves you. God is equipping you for every good work.
Be thankful.
