I Always Work to Do

Big or small tasks, I always work to do my best in them all. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

You’re Going to Have To

“If you don’t have time to do a job right, you’re going to have to make time to do it over.” Amish Proverbs

Snowball is Symbolic Of

I am grateful that God spoke to me and informed me that Snowball is symbolic of people.

Just as Snowball needs his meds so too do we need Gods discipline.

Just as Snowball suffers because he refuses to take his meds, so too do we suffer when we reject Gods discipline.

Just as Snowball recovers once he has taken his medicine so too are we healed when we obey Gods instructions

If God Didn’t

If God didn’t discipline His children He would be a negligent father. He would be displaying cruel disinterest if He were indifferent to whether His children obeyed or not. Erwin Lutzer

The Important Word

Use it carefully.

Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them. Proverbs 13:24 New International Version

Do you notice the word “carefully” in this sentence? Yes children need discipline but there is a difference between discipline and abuse. To beat or nag them or belittle them in public a child is abuse. To spank a child is discipline.

My mother used to spank us and send us to our room to think about what we had done, why it was wrong and to think of a good apology when we misbehaved. That method of reasoning has been carried throughout my life. In thinking about what I have done, why it is wrong and the correct way to make an apology.

Children need discipline or else how will they know right from wrong when they become adults? Isn’t that the fundamental reason there are so many problems in society today?

Don’t you hate it when you see a screaming child in the supermarket because they can’t get what they want? A good swat soon stops that. How about when travelling long distance on a plane or bus. The parent tries to reason with the misbehaving child. The child laughs because they know there is no punishment and just keeps on misbehaving. Isn’t that annoying to everybody else on board?

My cousin tried that stunt with my grandma in a supermarket only once and he got a good swat for his efforts. He never tried that again with her.

Now of course when they become older like teenagers a different method is used such as taking away privileges.

Prayer: Jehovah Abba, please teach me to be a good parent like you. Teach me when and how to use the rod in order to raise Godly children which is a gift from you.
I humbly ask in the name of our big brother Jesus Christ. Amen.

May you have a grateful heart towards He who has given so much to you. indeovi vas ( may you live with Jesus in Latin )

Seleh- stop and think about it.

It Will Keep You Out Of

Have big ears and a little mouth. It will keep you out of a lot of trouble. Joseph- Anthony: Green

But Please be Gentle.

So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle.Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.Jeremiah 10:24 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

The difference between a spanking and a beating is the number of strokes used and the harshness of them. I learned from spankings but hated from beatings. If you have received both you know what I am talking about. One was done with discipline the other was done with anger.

Just think of what were to happen if we were to receive Gods anger. It certainly terrifies me.

I am grateful for the Lords discipline but am ever more grateful that I do not experience His anger. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Please Jehovah Elohim Ozer Li (Psalms 54:4 GOD My Helper ) You know that I deeply desire to emulate my hero Jesus in all I say and all I do.

Thank you for sending The Holy Spirit to help me with His gentle correction when I start going in the wrong direction.

Thank you for Your patience so I do not experience Your anger. I thank you in the name of He who had divine patience with His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen

May you have a grateful heart towards He who has given so much to you.

To Accept its Plain Instructions.

The difficulty we modern Christians face is not misunderstanding the Bible, but persuading our untamed hearts to accept its plain instructions.
