Proverbs 22
Tuesday, I posted about fatherhood and parenting and once again this is our topic today. As a parent we are train our children, most importantly in the ways of the Lord. Part of this training includes discipline:
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far away. v15

Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them. Proverbs 13:24
Discipline is something that all of us must experience, even as adults. God continues to mold us and we experience discipline, hardship, punishment, etc. as part of God's refining process.
Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. Isaiah 64:8
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God, full of love, compassion, patience, etc. for me - Thank You Jesus! Yet I am not worthy of such love. I am broken and I continue to sin. Please forgive me for my lack of patience for others. Help me overcome my sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure Lisa of her cancer and the side effects from chemo. Help me lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You alone as their Lord and Savior. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin...and serve You. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
