God’s Discipline

 Scripture:

“I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.”  ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Jesus is speaking hear through John.  He says that He corrects those who He loves and tells them to be diligent and to turn from their indifference.  God’s correction is not because He hates us or is angry with us, but because He loves us and wants us to be in a place to walk in His blessing.

Application:

When we are disciplined by the Holy Spirit, we are not being pushed away by God, but it is God drawing close to us and showing us what we need to do.  He disciplines us because He loves us.  He gets on our case sometimes because he wants the best for us.  When He speaks, we should do what it says and be diligent to turn from indifference and run towards God instead of remaining indifferent about our issues.

Prayer:

Father, help me not to run away from discipline, but to run toward You at all times.  Teach me to follow You with all my heart.  Help me to be quick to change when You speak to me.

Your Son,

Jeff
