My son, do
not despise the LORD’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the
LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Hebrews
12:6
And have
you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a
father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light
of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because
the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts
as his son.
Funny how this verse is
repeated in the New Testament rights? The author pleads for us not to forget
that who the Lord loves, He rebukes, He chastens, He disciplines. Sometimes, as
humans, we stray away and do wrong because our flesh leads us to do so, and we
let it. So, once the consequences come…sometimes, we’re left thinking, “God, I
know I’ve done wrong, but do you really have to punish me like this??” We don’t
like to suffer the consequences of our actions and be disciplined. We’d rather
just say we’re sorry and just get away with what we do. But what good father
would just let a child do whatever he wants and never punish him when he does
wrong? Not a very good one right? In fact, at Bible study, one thing I learned
is that if you’re not getting disciplined...you may want to check and make sure
you’re in the fold o_O. If God doesn’t care to discipline you, it may be a warning
sign that you’re not yet one of His children. It’s definitely something to
think and pray about…until next time :)
