God disciplines those he loves

-

"Behold, blessed is the one whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty." Job 5:17:
The act of God disciplining humans in scripture is described as an act of love because if you err and God decides to leave you alone, your end will be bad. The punishment mentioned here is not to destroy you but to make you fear doing what God has forbidden. Proverbs 3:11-12 says:

"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."

Therefore, God's discipline is akin to how a parent disciplines their child to foster obedience and manners. The Word of God in Hebrews 12:6-11 says:

"And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: 'My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.' Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of Spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. 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."

If God disciplined you because of mistakes and sins, thank Him today for His love for you, repent, and change your ways. If you lost things because of mistakes and sins, continue to ask God for mercy, and He will restore everything to you.

Prayer: Thank you, Father, for Your love. I ask that You enable me to love You more, even when You discipline me when I err, and to understand that You are disciplining me for my own good. Amen.
Jesus Christ, Bible study

Hebrews...:– 6:13–20 Exodus..:- 1—2 Psalms..:- 40 I read in the Bible in Hebrews 6:13 that as God made a promise to Abraham and found no one greater than Him to fulfill the promise, God made a promise to Abraham by taking an oath of his own accord and said that I would give you more I will increase your lineage a lot and I will also give blessings. And as we know, in the Bible, in Exodus 1 and 2, we read about how God greatly blessed and raised Jacob and his children in Egypt. And we read that as it is written in the Bible, how in Egypt they had to suffer a lot and had to endure many troubles, and even in the days of trouble, God increased Israel greatly and Israel people began to flourish; And they went on becoming exceedingly powerful; And they grew so much that the whole country was filled with them. But God saw their suffering and heard their cry which was coming out because of the hard service that cry reached to God and God remembered his promise which he had made to

Luke 23:1-25 Genesis 41 Psalm 32 * We see in our life that how people reject the Lord, ridicule him and say that what life will give us who could not save himself. Like we read in Luke 23:1–25. That people did not accept the Lord Jesus Christ and asked the king to give him the death of anger and we know that in the Bible, Lord Jesus Christ died for our sin and also lived for our righteousness and is alive till today. And those who live in the shadow of God, God always protects and helps them and also gives them success as written in Genesis 41 in the Bible. In bad times like famine, I give God enough food to Joseph and God stays with Yusuf to guide him, due to which even the countries like Egypt who did not fear God were blessed, there was no food in the whole city but in Egypt There was food and Egypt used to buy food for all the cities and Joseph gave authority over the whole of Egypt. * We know that there are good times and bad times in our life, but we should follow and
