Deuteronomy 31-32, Psalms 66, Acts 18
What God said to me – “I AM” a Father who loves His children. Because I love My children, I discipline them for their good. The thing that usually comes to mind when you hear discipline is punishment but punishment is usually a very small part of discipline. When you hear discipline – think training. “I AM” training My children so they are prepared and able to carry out the ministry and plans I have for them. Like the drill sergeant who makes his soldiers run for miles carrying a heavy pack – he is not punishing them, he is training and conditioning them for what is ahead. So when I place a burden or trial in your life turn to Me for instruction and training, trusting that “I AM” at work disciplining you for what is to come. This time with Me is very important for your preparation and training so make it a priority in your daily walk.
