Some of us can be stubborn at times. We think that we know the right way to do something, until we are proven wrong. To keep us safe and to teach us, various people have had to discipline us. The discipline may come in the form of forceful correction, a driving ticket, or the removal of some privileges.
Psalm 94:12-14 says, “Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law, to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.” Sometimes, the only way that God can teach His people is through discipline. But along with the discipline, God promises to give us rest from our troubles. He also promises that He will not forsake us or abandon us to struggle on our own.
