TODAY’S WORD…

.

Endure hardship as discipline;

God is treating you as His children.

For what children are not disciplined by their father?

.

– Hebrews 12:7 (NIV)

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

God is our caring Father

who exudes love

and who, for that same reason, disciplines us

so as to mould and strengthen our character and our resolve

as we go through life seeking to reach our ultimate destination.

.

Much in the same manner as innocent little children love their father and trust him,

so we too should be with God, our Heavenly Father.

.

We must love, revere, respect and trust Him,

fear offending Him,

do all we can to please Him,

and respect His Divine plan for us.

.

.

QUOTE…

.

“Know then in your heart

that as a parent disciplines a child

so the Lord your God disciplines you.

Therefore keep the commandments of the Lord your God,

by walking in His ways and by fearing Him.”

.

– Deuteronomy 8:5-6
