So hold on through your sufferings, because they are like a father’s discipline. God is treating you as children. All children are disciplined by their fathers. If you are never disciplined (and every child must be disciplined), you are not true children. We have all had fathers here on earth who disciplined us, and we respected them. So it is even more important that we accept discipline from the Father of our spirits so we will have life. Our fathers on earth disciplined us for a short time in the way they thought was best. But God disciplines us to help us, so we can become holy as he is. We do not enjoy being disciplined. It is painful at the time, but later, after we have learned from it, we have peace, because we start living in the right way.

3 Days
Have you ever been tempted to think the work of God in your life appears to be more destructive than constructive? In this plan, we will look at how God’s sanctifying work in our lives is a controlled and loving demolition of the old in order to make way for the new.
When things go wrong, it is not always the devil’s handiwork. It could just as easily be God putting an obstacle in your path so you can grow from overcoming that struggle. In this insightful reading plan, Tony Evans teaches how difficulties happen for reasons beyond our comprehension.
"Blessed are those who mourn..." (Matthew 5:4, NIV) How is that supposed to work? Throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to have joy in all circumstances. Could there be a link between joy and mourning?
We start living when we find our lives in HIM who is eternal life. The LORD who died so we could have abundant life. In three days, we will talk about relishing the abundant life that CHRIST granted us by grace.
