Hebrews 12:11 “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”
In my scripture reading today I came to sit with this scripture. My husband and I are going through a time of stretching right now. You know that place when you feel uncomfortable. When the unknown makes you squirm a little. You aren’t confident in your decisional or the path your currently on. Not sure what the future holds. You long for the simple days of basic, normal life.
I like to think of myself as in control. I ‘ve always been a hard worker and was able to make a lot happen in my life. But God continues to remind me I m never in control of my life. God takes us on journeys for varies reasons. Sometimes as a consequence of our actions. Sometimes someone else’s decisions and sometimes just to teach and refine us.
Although it’s harsh and uncomfortable to be disciplined it yields a fruit for HIS kingdom. Stretching us, molding us to be more like HIM.
