Psalm 93 & 94
"Blessed is the man you discipline, O Lord"
As a child, I never liked discipline. I always thought it was mean and cruel. I always wanted mercy instead.
As a parent, I realize how important discipline is. Discipline is never easy. Discipline is an act of love.
With God, I struggle knowing when God is disciplining me or when I just suffered the consequences of my actions. Is that how God disciplines? God discipline allows us to reap the results of our actions. Is it possible, when we have done wrong and are begging God to save us, the discipline of God is not to save us in that moment. Rather, God allows us to suffer the consequences so that we will learn the lesson.
