Choose Your Pain

“For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly” (Proverbs 5:23).

“Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent” (Revelation 3:19).

“Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord , the one you teach from your law” (Psalm 94:12).

“Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise” (Proverbs 19:20).

“Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?” (Hebrews 12:7).

Have you guessed what the theme of today’s Verse of the Day is yet?

Not going to say much other than encouraging you to read and meditate on the verses above. Let me close with something I read online recently. I don’t know who wrote it, but it resonates with me.

Everyone must choose one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

Choose your pain.
