Proverbs 3:11-12 - God's Discipline Is A Good Thing

November 20th, 2023

Proverbs 3:11-12

My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

Lesson Summary

  • At times we don't like it when our parents discipline us, but they do it to correct us and help us.
  • When we have trusted in Jesus, God doesn't punish us, He corrects us with discipline: like letting us get caught so we can be corrected.
  • His discipline flows from His love and not His anger.

Prayer

Dear Lord,
Help us to be careful not to be mad when you or our parents discipline us.
Help us remember you discipline out of love and for our good.
In Jesus' Name we pray.
Amen.
