Good afternoon friends, may God greatly bless each of you. To end the week, once again I share with you a passage from the sacred scriptures where we are told about discipline, the discipline that comes from God is a sign of divine love and concern. Just as a father corrects his child for his good, God corrects his children because he loves them and wants them to live wise and righteous lives. Accepting this correction with humility and gratitude can lead to significant spiritual and personal growth.

Do not despise, my son, the punishment of Jehovah, Nor be weary of his correction; For Jehovah punishes the one he loves, As a father punishes the son whom he loves.

Proverbs 3:11-12
Amen

"Do not despise, my son, the punishment of Jehovah, Nor be weary of his correction"

This verse warns against despising or underestimating the discipline that comes from God. The use of "my son" suggests a paternal and loving tone, indicating that the advice is given with care and concern.

-Do not belittle: This means do not take lightly or ignore divine correction. Underlines the importance of valuing discipline, understanding that it has a beneficial purpose.
-Jehovah's punishment: It refers to the correction that God imposes. In the biblical context, "punishment" does not always imply severe punishment, but rather a form of discipline that is intended to correct and guide.
-Don't get tired of his correction: This advises not to get discouraged or exhausted by the correction that God gives. Recognize that correction may be difficult to endure, but encourage acceptance and learning from it.

"For Jehovah punishes whom he loves, As a father punishes the son whom he loves"

This verse explains the reason behind divine correction, comparing it to the discipline that a loving father gives his child.

-For Jehovah punishes those he loves: Indicates that divine discipline is an expression of God's love. It is not an act of anger or malice, but a demonstration of care and concern for the person's well-being and spiritual growth.
-Like a father to his son whom he loves: Reiterates the analogy of the father-son relationship. A father disciplines his son not out of cruelty, but because he loves him and wants the best for him. In the same way, God corrects his children to guide them towards a just and full life.

How do we put this beautiful passage into practice?

Acceptance of Discipline: Recognize that correction and difficulties can be tools that God uses for our personal growth and development.

Patience and Resilience: Learning to be resilient and patient in the midst of discipline, knowing that it has a higher purpose.

Positive Perspective: View discipline not as a harsh punishment, but as an opportunity to learn and improve.

God bless you. Have a great weekend.

Buenas tardes amigos, que Dios les bendiga grandemente a cada uno de ustedes. Para terminar la semana una vez más les comparto un pasaje de las sagradas escrituras donde se nos habla de la disciplina, la disciplina que proviene de Dios es una señal de amor y preocupación divina. Al igual que un padre corrige a su hijo para su bien, Dios corrige a sus hijos porque los ama y quiere que vivan vidas sabias y justas. Aceptar esta corrección con humildad y gratitud puede conducir a un crecimiento espiritual y personal significativo.

No menosprecies, hijo mío, el castigo de Jehová, Ni te fatigues de su corrección; Porque Jehová al que ama castiga,Como el padre al hijo a quien quiere.

Proverbios 3:11-12
Amén

"No menosprecies, hijo mío, el castigo de Jehová, Ni te fatigues de su corrección"

Este versículo advierte contra despreciar o subestimar la disciplina que proviene de Dios. El uso de "hijo mío" sugiere un tono paternal y amoroso, indicando que el consejo es dado con cuidado y preocupación.

-No menosprecies: Esto significa no tomar a la ligera o ignorar la corrección divina. Subraya la importancia de valorar la disciplina, entendiendo que tiene un propósito beneficioso.
-El castigo de Jehová: Se refiere a la corrección que Dios impone. En el contexto bíblico, "castigo" no siempre implica un castigo severo, sino una forma de disciplina que tiene como objetivo corregir y guiar.
-Ni te fatigues de su corrección: Esto aconseja no desanimarse ni agotarse por la corrección que Dios da. Reconoce que la corrección puede ser difícil de soportar, pero anima a aceptar y aprender de ella.

"Porque Jehová al que ama castiga, Como el padre al hijo a quien quiere"

Este versículo explica la razón detrás de la corrección divina, comparándola con la disciplina que un padre amoroso da a su hijo.

-Porque Jehová al que ama castiga: Indica que la disciplina divina es una expresión del amor de Dios. No es un acto de ira o malicia, sino una demostración de cuidado y preocupación por el bienestar y el crecimiento espiritual de la persona.
-Como el padre al hijo a quien quiere: Reitera la analogía de la relación padre-hijo. Un padre disciplina a su hijo no por crueldad, sino porque lo ama y quiere lo mejor para él. De la misma manera, Dios corrige a sus hijos para guiarlos hacia una vida justa y plena.

Como ponemos en practica este hermoso pasaje?

Aceptación de la Disciplina: Reconocer que la corrección y las dificultades pueden ser herramientas que Dios usa para nuestro crecimiento y desarrollo personal.

Paciencia y Resiliencia: Aprender a ser resilientes y pacientes en medio de la disciplina, sabiendo que tiene un propósito más elevado.

Perspectiva Positiva: Ver la disciplina no como un castigo severo, sino como una oportunidad para aprender y mejorar.

Greetings @pdc ,

Your important message today brought to mind the verse..of IJohn 1.9...

'If we name, confess, acknowledge our sins to God, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to purify us from all wrongdoing.' ...from the original Greek of the New Testament.

Thank you for the opportunity to think on these things.

Kind Regards, Bleujay

Greetings Friend, What a nice article and full of wisdom. You know I love how you highlight the importance of divine discipline as a sign of God's love and concern for us.

Especially the detailed analysis you have done on the passage from Proverbs 3:11-12. I think many should read this, as it is especially enlightening, helping us to understand that God's correction is an opportunity to grow and develop both spiritually and personally.

Your reflection reminded me that we should accept discipline with humility and gratitude, trusting that it has a beneficial purpose in our lives.

Excellent article 👍
