“RESULTS OF DISCIPLINE”
Discipline is one of the most important character traits a person can possess. We know that GOD disciplines those He loves.
Proverbs 3:12
“For whom the LORD loves He corrects.”
Today’s Scripture teaches us that discipline is something we do for ourselves. It does not bring immediate joy or results, but with time, it produces good fruit for those who submit to it! Don’t think of discipline as difficult, but let’s see it as a vehicle that brings blessings, peace, and great enjoyment in our lives!
Don’t see it as an enemy but as a friend that will help us become everything GOD wants us to be and empower us to do everything He wants us to do, for an abundant life!
Hebrews 12:11
Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterwards it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Reflect on a specific area of your life you need discipline (maybe spending some time with GOD everyday). Whatever it may be, take it to ABBA FATHER and make a commitment to work on it with the help of the Holy Spirit!
