For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems sad and painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness [right standing with God and a lifestyle and attitude that seeks conformity to God’s will and purpose].

For you know that later on, when he wanted [to regain title to] his inheritance of the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance [there was no way to repair what he had done, no chance to recall the choice he had made], even though he sought for it with [bitter] tears. [Gen 27:30-40]

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.
Do you view discipline and correction as painful or positive preparation? It may be painful at first, but I pray that within these guided audio meditations, you will learn to enjoy being prepared by God. Learn how the Holy Spirit intercedes for you when you are too exhausted. And become mindful of your actions so that others see the best of the peace and preparation of God within you.
"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?
