*Spiritual Disciplines* (4)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"My son, do not despise or shrink from the chastening of the Lord [His correction by punishment or by subjection to suffering or trial]; neither be weary of or impatient about or loathe or abhor His reproof, For whom the Lord loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights."* Proverbs 3:11-12 (Amplified))
_Bible Insight:_
....Neither be weary of or impatient about or loathe or abhor His reproof, For whom the Lord loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
God's punishment is not only physical or through challenges or trials. In the new testament, God does more of corrections by His word, and through the ministry of the Holy Spirit who drives godly sorrow and repentance.
Take Peter for instance. He took the word of Jesus as a prior rebuke and felt great godly sorrow when he remembered the word of the master:-
Mark 14:72 (KJV) And the second time the cock crew. And PETER CALLED TO MIND THE WORD THAT JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when HE THOUGHT thereon, he wept.
God's word is designed to bring corrections and instructions unto righteousness. It is against this backdrop, one must learn to be humble in the face of corrections or instructions by God's word.
_MEDITATION:_
*"A generation that prefers God's promises and blessings above God's commandments and injunctions, will be hardened or shrink at the rebuke of the Lord"*

*Spiritual Disciplines* (3)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training: For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain."* Proverbs 3:11-12 (BBE))
_Bible Insight:_
Do not make your HEART HARD against the Lord's teaching; do not be made ANGRY by his training: For to those who are dear to him the Lord says SHARP WORDS, and makes the son in whom he has delight UNDERGO PAIN.
Think of Miriam, who in
Exodus 15:20 (KJV) was called "the prophetess, the sister of Aaron". But in Numbers 12:1 (KJV) "Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman."
This attracted God's severe correction and discipline.
Numbers 12:9-10 (KJV) And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
God punished a prophetess. Even Moses himself had his share of discipline too when he struck the rock twice rather than speak to the rock as the Lord instructed. God is no respecter of persons.
_MEDITATION:_
*"A generation that does not learn that God is a disciplinarian will definitely take God for granted and will scoff at corrections"*
