Verse for Today: Hebrews 12: 7-9
So hold on through your sufferings, because they are like a father’s discipline. God is treating you as children. All children are disciplined by their fathers. If you are never disciplined (and every child must be disciplined), you are not true children. We have all had fathers here on earth who disciplined us, and we respected them. So it is even more important that we accept discipline from the Father of our spirits so we will have life.
(New Century version)
Prayer for Today: Lord, I praise You and thank You for helping me to learn to see and recognize all Your loving actions in this world that I live in. I need to remember that any adversity that I encounter is intended as “parental discipline” to teach me some kind of important lesson. You are all powerful in this life and I need to learn that You are answering all my calls for help in times of trouble. I pray that You will inspire me to learn from Your “disciplines” and see that I can always trust in Your love and mercy.
