Discipline

"So you should realize that just as a parent disciplines a child, the Lord your God disciplines you to help you."
Deut 8:5 (New Living Translation)
Apos. Vivian - Please explain this verse of scripture. Thank you

G.B.FOSCHINI
LET ME STATE FROM THE START THAT I AM A TEACHER/COUNSELOR AT T.C. AND KNOW TO SOME DEGREE ABOUT THE " CHANGES " THAT NEED TO OCCUR IN ONES LIFE. OUR EARTHLY FATHERS IN THEIR RIGHT MIND AND BECAUSE THEY ARE OLDER KNOW HOW TO KEEP US FROM DANGER. SOMETIMES THIS REQUIRES DISCIPLINE. IN PROVERBS IT STATES " FOOLISHNESS RESIDES IN THE HEART OF A CHILD, BUT THE ROD OF CORRECTION WILL DRIVE IT FAR FROM HIM.
GOD KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR US, LET HIM HAVE HIS PERFECT WAY WITH YOU, EVEN IF IT HURTS FOR A SEASON.
