Seeing the Good in Correction

        I'm not going to right a long entry on this one because the verses kind of explain themselves. I will give the main idea. though, and that is: There is good in correction and discipline, both from God and from parents. We never want to make light of either one. I say this but yet it is easy to tell what this entry it about because the verses either has the words "discipline" or "correction" in them.
        For the "new" readers: Yes we do get disciplined by God but it is not the hurting kind, like sickness, all the time. It could be like losing a job or not getting to hang out with a friend or taking time to rest when we won't let ourselves rest but know we need to. Just little things like that. The reason I wrote these verses down was because I was taking some correction in my life like I should have so looking up these verses helped me calm down and take the advice from the people around me. It could also help you grow more in Christ if you take it that way too.


-Proverbs 15:32- "Those who disregard discipline despise themselves,
    but the one who heeds correction gains understanding."
-Hebrews 12:5-6- "And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,

“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
    and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
    and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”

-Proverbs 15:31- "Whoever heeds life-giving correction
    will be at home among the wise."


-Hebrews 12:11- "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."

-Proverbs 15:5- "A fool spurns a parent’s discipline,
    but whoever heeds correction shows prudence."

-Proverbs 15:10- "Stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path;

    the one who hates correction will die."

-Proverbs 15:33- "Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord and humility comes before honor."

-Hebrews 12:10- "They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness."

-Hebrews 12:7a- "Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children."
