| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's devotion from Our Daily Bread Ministries, titled A Love That Disciplines. |
| 0:11.1 | I'm Daniel Ryan Day. |
| 0:15.5 | When I took a family studies class in college, we were asked to write a family history, |
| 0:22.2 | a record of the key events that make up one's childhood. This included the patterns that characterize typical family |
| 0:27.7 | life and the methods of discipline we experienced. We all had at least one instance of a parent |
| 0:34.2 | misapplying discipline and leaving an emotional or a physical scar. |
| 0:40.0 | Understandably, traumatic experiences like these may affect the way we interpret our Heavenly |
| 0:45.2 | Father's discipline too. In Proverbs chapter 3, verses 11 through 12, the wise teacher invites readers |
| 0:53.1 | to accept God's discipline. The word discipline |

| 1:02.6 | and the scriptures to correct self-destructive behavior. God's discipline is relational, rooted in |
| 1:10.3 | his love and in his desire for what's best for us. |

| 1:25.3 | But we don't always see it that way, do we? The wise man caution, do not |
| 1:29.6 | despise the Lord's discipline. Sometimes we fear God's discipline. At other times we misinterpret |
| 1:35.7 | the bad things that happen in our lives as God's discipline. This is far from the heart of a loving |
| 1:42.0 | father who disciplines because he delights in us and corrects because he loves us. |
| 1:48.1 | Instead of fearing God's discipline, may we learn to accept it. |
| 1:52.2 | When we hear God's voice of correction in our hearts or experience conviction when reading the scriptures, |
| 1:58.6 | may we thank God that he delights in us enough to lead us to what's best. |
