Discipline

Proverbs 29:17 “Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire.”  Our human nature suggests just the opposite of this passage.  We sometimes think–give freedom, let the child express him/herself and they will grow up with a flourishing mentality.  God tells us the opposite–discipline your child with love and they will learn self-control, contentedness and their lives will be much richer than growing up in chaos.  Which is our guide–God or our human nature? My brother-in-law went to be with his Savior yesterday. Please pray for peace and contentedness for my sister and his children and grandchildren. Have a great weekend.
