Hebrews 12
Speaking on discipline, the author of Hebrews wants us to view our circumstances in light of how we have a Heavenly Father that disciplines just as we all had an earthly father that did the same (v4-11). We should view hardship as discipline (v7) and training and other circumstances as well as discipline and training. If God has great plans for us, then He should be equipping us for those plans as well should He not?

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and who is always training me! Thank You God! I am not worth such love and blessings. I worry. Please forgive me God and help me overcome such sin and turn from it towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. v11
