Discipline Quote by GODDEY WILSON
“Discipline helps us not to repeat mistakes, and the fear of discipline helps us not to make mistakes. The fear of God is clean, and has a cleansing affect upon the child of God, taking us into perfection and holiness before Him, so that we can worship Him in spirit and truth. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. (Psalms 19:9-11) We are to desire Gods judgments and thank Him for them for they show His love for us and they help shape us into the image of Christ. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1Thessalonians 5:16-18)”
