DISCIPLINE IS PART OF SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT

Hebrews 12:11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Proverbs 3:11-12  "So" My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the Lord reproves those whom He loves.

Discipline comes with Spiritual growth, if there's no discipline there is no growth. Without discipline we are blind to the fact that we are Spiritual naked. We must have discipline to help us repent and turn away from our old ways. Spiritual discipline gives us insight and dress with His grace

Father, we thank You, for Spiritual discipline that gives us the strength to humble ourselves to Your will. Thank You, for the discipline to forgive and deal with those who have wronged us. Thank You, for the discipline to be a better Stewart with Your money; thank You for the discipline that helps us tame our tongues, so You can speak through us. Thank You, for the discipline that keeps us focused on You and not the confusion around us.  Thank You, for the discipline to stay faithful in our marriages, and relationships,  especially the one with Christ.   Thank You, for the discipline that separate  us from backbiters and bad company.  Lord, If we are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then we are illegitimate children. So, thank You, for loving us enough to discipline us when we reveal a lack of natural affection, love, compassion, kindness, faith, or Spiritual growth, in Jesus name Amen
