Do Not Despise the Lord’s Discipline!

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 love for you. God is equipping you for every good work. Be thankful.

Breathed By God!

Breathed By God!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who realize that all Scripture is God breathed. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Believers look to God’s holy and inspired word for guidance, inspiration, and more.

2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV) tells us,

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”

Psalm 111:2-4 (ESV) reinforces the idea of God’s righteousness.

“Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.
He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.”

God’s works are not only great, they are remembered.

Why not study God’s word in order to bring to mind all his works. Tell others. Share what God has done in your life with the next generation.

Your Words Give Light?

Your Words Give Light?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who agree “the unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.” In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Bible is God’s word.

According to 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV)
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”

Psalm 119:129-136 (ESV) says that God’s words give light.

“Your testimonies are wonderful;
therefore my soul keeps them.
The unfolding of your words gives light;
it imparts understanding to the simple.
I open my mouth and pant,
because I long for your commandments.
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
as is your way with those who love your name.
Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
Redeem me from man’s oppression,
that I may keep your precepts.
Make your face shine upon your servant,
and teach me your statutes.
My eyes shed streams of tears,
because people do not keep your law.”

Trust what God says in Scripture. Take time to pray. Ask God to show you his truth as you read.
