"Endure it as discipline; God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?" Hebrews 12:7b
The purpose of discipline is "teaching" and not "punishment". When discipline is viewed as or used for punishment, then it is not discipline. It is punishment. Punishment is a motivator but not a great motivator. Discipline includes elements of teaching and teaching is not only beneficial but it is also a positive motivator.
Lord, help me to see discipline as being a learning opportunity for me and help me to use discipline to teach others.
