Proverbs 10:17 “He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.” Is God really saying discipline is very good?  Absolutely He is saying that.  Without discipline at all ages of life only chaos is the result.  Have you seen a child out of control?  Or a man out of control?  Or an elderly person destitute?  All three cases involving different phases of life display a lack of discipline.  Life could be much more enjoyable with discipline.  Abuse is the result of discipline’s absence.  Success and honor are lost when discipline is missing.  Learn to love discipline.
