Day #5: Despising Discipline

Blessed is the man whom God corrects;
so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
For he wounds, but he also binds up;
he injures, but his hands also heal.
~Job 5:17-18

God is my parents' role model. They strive to be like him, they listen to his words, and they try to obey what he tells them to do. As parents, they have to (yes, I am going to say it) discipline their children (my brothers more than me, heh heh heh).

I, as one of the children being disciplined, don't always like the way my parents discipline me. Wait, I take that back. I never like the way my parents discipline me. But God is my parent too, and the fifth chapter of Job includes a verse that says 'Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.'

Hmmm... I guess God and my parents know what they're doing when they discipline me. And I know they're going to love reading this, but I suppose I'll trust their judgment and, uh, cheerfully obey them.
