You learned deep in your heart that GOD disciplines you in the same ways a father disciplines his child.
2 TIMOTHY 3:16 (MSG)
Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way.
THE ESSENCE
Recognize with gratitude the way that God's discipline has shaped and is shaping you into who he wants you to be.

PRAYER
Loving God, thank you for training me to follow you. Most days, I believe, but I need your Word when I backslide. Remind me of your commandments and connect me to a community of people that will correct me in my spiritual life. What joy it is that I can climb into your lap and trust your love. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
