Discipline

My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline
and do not resent his rebuke,
because the LORD disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.

-Proverbs 3:11-12

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load. -Galatians 6:1-5

I am so thankful this Lord's Day that God's word is so clear as to not only how we should act, but how we should be thinking rightly about ourselves and others. My prayers today are for those being disciplined and seeking restoration as well as the confession of my own willful sins. These are hard times for many. May the Name of the Lord be praised. He is our Redeemer God.
