Today is Monday, October 14, 2019, and here is your Daily Devo. When we look at the disaster that came upon Israel, does it make us thank God for His grace to them? Rather than allow Israel to continue in sin and bow down to idols, God brought a heavy hand of discipline. The Israelites lost their land, lost their homes, and lost many lives.
But how much worse would it have been if God had done nothing, if He had allowed His people to continue in their sin without any effort to turn them back? When we look at our own lives, what do we hope God would be willing to do to keep and persevere us? How much discipline would we be comfortable receiving if the end result was that we would walk in holiness and desire him above all else. Anytime he brings discipline into our lives, he is treating us as children.
He is loving us with his gracious, refining love so that we may turn away from what is worthless and turn toward the only one who is worthy. Think about this. How is God's discipline also a means of God's grace and love? How might God's loving discipline mature us as believers?
