But if we examine ourselves, we would not be judged by God in this way. Yet when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned along with the world. – 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (NLT)
WHEN GOD DISCIPLINES
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you experience pain from not getting what you want
God knows you are not ready, so he doesn’t grant
If you examine yourself, you’ll know you are being disciplined
Like a protective parent, he doesn’t want you to continue living in sin.
He is after your heart and is longing for you never to depart
When God disciplines you, it means he wants you to have a new start
He never condemns you, he only convicts and lead you to his truth
He is longing for you to be living in his Spirit so you can reap fruits.
________________________________________
If you are a parent, you know how important it is to discipline your children. The book of Hebrews explains why God disciplines us, He considers us sons and daughters. If we are not disciplined, then we are illegitimate. So be glad when you are being convicted by God about something because that means that he doesn’t want us to fall into the trap that Satan always plans for us. If we examine ourselves and heed to God’s discipline, our lives will be a fulfillment of his plans.
PRAYER
Thank you for caring for me Lord.
REFLECTION
What is God disciplining you with today?

If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. –Hebrews 12:8 (NLT)
DISCIPLINE IS A SIGN OF GOD’S LOVE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you love and discipline your own children?
Do you do it to protect and safeguard their well-being?
God corrects his own people with love and tenderness
He loves us like his own and wants us to live in righteousness.
If you get convicted by the Holy Spirit of God
He wants you to be victorious and rise above
Discipline is a sign that you belong to him
It guarantees all his promises to be redeemed.

It is a challenge to discipline children, but it always brings out the best for them. If you have children or is taking care of a child, you know the importance of correction in their lives. If you do not correct a mistake, they will constantly do it until it hurts them badly. God is the same with us. Like a parent or a caregiver, he wants the best for his children. He watches over them ensuring that they are free from harm and danger.
The bible talks about the importance of being convicted and corrected by God. It is a good thing even though at the time of being disciplined, it feels like we are hurting so much. It pays off in the end.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for correcting me.
REFLECTION
What was the hardest correction you got from God?
