Discipline

Here is what God's word says about discipline.


(Show me Deuteronomy 8)
Deuteronomy 8: 5, "Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God disciplines you.


A parent discipling their child is what we normally think of when we hear this word.  What does discipline mean when you grow out of your parents supervision to have discipline.


(Show me Proverbs 12)
Proverbs 12:1, "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid."  


Discipline takes a great deal of restraint.  Those who have good discipline will most likely learn more.


Here in Hebrews 12:11, "The moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it."


Here we see how discipline can provide great rewards for those with patience and self-control.
