Today’s Thought “A Bumpy Road” G. Ward

Hebrews 12:6

“For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, And He punishes every son whom He accepts.”

Whereas discipline is necessary for a child’s productivity, that certainly encompasses ongoing instruction in how to correlate in a world ever-changing, a parent’s invite – when that same child’s middle name becomes rebellious, through repeated violation of the disciplines demanded, certainly may call for an association with great pain unto the one you’d give your life for. This in essence is the nurturing necessary when you love your progeny.

For followers of Christ, we’re yet regarded as children of God and many times our middle name becomes unbearable unto Heaven and whereas our Lord proves HIS love similarly to that of our proposed parenting, our Lord’s discipline can also be painful, yet we are ever learning to not endeavor that same road again (Acts 3:19).
