And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Hebrews 12:5-13
The story is told of a little boy who kept riding his bike over and over again around the block. There was an old fellow who was watching and finally he couldn’t take it anymore and he stopped the little guy and asked him, “Son what are you doing?” the little guy replied, “I am running away from home.” The fellow responded, “You aren’t getting very far.” And the little boy replied, “That’s because my mom won’t let me cross the street.”
We would do well if we would have such a fear and respect for our heavenly Father and His commandments and instructions as the little guy had for his mother commandments and instructions. I am afraid that we are more faithful to a stop sign than we are to God’s Word.
From our verses we learn there is blessing in the chastening that we receive from our heavenly Father when we are disobedient. Read our verses and allow the Holy Ghost to guide you into an incredible truth the reveals the depth of God's care, concern and love for His Children.
Thanks for visiting and thanks for praying,
