OUR FATHER WHO DISCIPLINES US

The  book of Hebrews chapter 12 verses 13 - 14 says this;

 “and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.

The context here is that the author of Hebrews is instructing believers to understand hardship in their lives as discipline from the Lord. It is explained that any earthy father disciplines his son and so likewise, the Lord disciplines any son He accepts and loves.

With this in mind, believers are exorted to make level paths for their feet so that the lame may not be disabled but rather healed.

This means that under the discipline of God, the believers will have their weaknesses strengthened and  their injuries healed and straighted so that they will be able to walk in the path they should go.

As Psalm 32 verse 8 says;

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

As well, believers are encouraged to live in peace with everyone even while under the discipline of the Lord and we are to grow in holiness because holiness is the currency by which men can see God and if we never grow into holiness, we will never see the Lord.

Amen.
