Is God Punishing You?
Discipline and correction lead to a joyful life.
Know Him
TRUTH: God doesn’t expect the best from You, but He wants the best for You. As you walk closer to God, He will give you correction and discipline so that you can enjoy life and share His goodness with others.
“My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline, and don’t be upset when He corrects you. For the Lord corrects those He loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.”
— Proverbs 3:11-12
Understand Yourself
REFLECT: Is there something in your life that is causing you to stumble?
Oftentimes, your actions and desires don’t align with the best God has for you to experience. Embrace the various ways God disciplines or corrects you and use these experiences to bring change to your life.
Do His Work
TAKE ACTION: Take a minute today to identify one area of your life that you know isn’t something God wants you to participate in. Seek help from God or someone you trust to change the course of action in this area of your life.
Remember that God is not “punishing” you. Instead, He is using discipline and correction to help you enjoy the life He has given you.
The BEST is yet to come!
