PS.119:67 {” BEFORE I was afflicted, I went astray: BUT NOW, have I kept thy word “} We must allow the Lord to Discipline us, just like we allow Him to Direct us. We need to learn OF Him, just as much as we learn FROM Him. DISCIPLINE IS DIRECTION, which instructs us into the way of His righteousness, and guides us into His ways of peace, and goodness. Often, we don’t take heed to things until something goes wrong, or until we find ourselves in a continuing crisis. You see, the MOUNTAIN TOP are where we are Inspiried; but the VALLEYS are where we Matured: and the WILDERNESS are where we learn through experiences, and examples. We have a very Loving Father God who only disciplines His children with COMPASSION, not Compulsion, when we are persistently going astray, and running awol from our assignments. Following the Lord’s ways of instructions will LEAD US IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and right living: it is the road of Enlightment, and the Entrance into Light. Beloved! whatever you do; choose to do it GOD’S WAY, instead of your way.
