BIBLE MEDITATION:
Hebrews 12:6 - "For whom the Lord
loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth."
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
As a child, did you
ever get a spanking you didn't deserve? Maybe now and then your
dad or mom would just be
in a "spanking mood," and they'd spank everyone they could get their
hands on. Talk about being indignant! There is nothing worse to a child than to
realize, "I got spanked, and I didn't deserve it." You know what's
funny? At that point, we never stop to think about all the times we deserved a
spanking and didn't get one! Our Father is mercifully loving and graciously
wise to give us what we need at all times
in our lives. Sometimes
we need His hand of love in comfort, and sometimes we need
His hand of love in
discipline.
ACTION POINT:
Thank God that His
hand of mercy extends to you when you don't deserve it and that
His hand of discipline
extends to you when you do.
