Христианский блогер призывает верующих принимать божественную дисциплину как знак любви

August 12, 2026 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. Thoughts on Today’s Verse… Discipline is considered onerous, irritating, and unnecessary. The lazy and sinful parts of us want no boundaries, even if they are good. We resist any guardrails to our behavior because we do not wish to receive any direction that might conflict with what we want to do. But the Lord disciplines out of love to bless us. It is a sign of his delight in us. Why? Because he is not content to leave us unchanged, unmotivated, and disinterested in what real life is. He does not want to see us deceived, misled, or captured by the evil one’s lying ways. He wants to move us closer to our goal: Jesus, and our eternal destiny with our Lord! My Prayer… I confess, Righteous Father, that I don’t like discipline. However, Father, deep down, I know that your discipline is for my spiritual good and eternal blessing. Please help me better understand and use the situations in my life that you use to discipline me, so that I can become more like Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
