In some instances in the Bible we see Gods Judgement. In the case of Noah and the flood and in Sodom & Gomorrah. He destroyed because of the wickedness of the people.
But what about every day folks like you and me ? I say our heavenly father is like any parent.
1st Corinthians Ch 2 V 19 says : as many as I love,I rebuke and chasten be zealous therefore, and repent. In Hebrews Ch 12 V 6 It states for whom the Lord Loveth he chasten.
If we as parents did not discipline our children ,what kind of child would he or she become ? Likewise , God disciplines us in love and teaches us how to behave. As Our Little ones start walking they are always reaching for something that isn't good for them, pulling things off tables or trying to touching things that are hot. I don't know how many times I have said No No don't touch!! For their safety. Like wise the Lord speaks to us in a still small voice when we are tempted or on the wrong path " No Child don't touch" Many times we suffer from our bad choices not hearing the Fathers warnings. Hebrews Ch 12 V 10 says our Fathers disciplines us for good a little while as they thought best but God disciplines for our good that we may share in his holiness V 11 No Discipline seems pleasant at the time ,but painful, later on ,however it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
When I personally have gone through hard experiences ,it was in the difficult times that I reached out to God for strength and safety . When everything is going our way , how much time do we spend seeking Gods love and guidance?
Sometimes our heavenly father has to shake our comfort zone to get our attention . We tend to get caught up in our own lives that we don't have time to consider what God mite be trying to do in our lives. Until next time, may the Lord Bless and keep you....
