Love Discipline!!

Good morning!
It's a beautiful day here in NYC! The sun is shining and the Son is about to shine on our hearts as we study his Word! (that was kind of poetic, huh?) :-)

*** Special note from Coach: I want to apologize for yesterday's incomplete post. Something happened that I could not correct. But I know what i did wrong and it shouldn't happen again!! Now, let's get to work!!

We are in verse 1, of chapter 12, The Message version today...

Proverbs 12:1
"If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it — how shortsighted to refuse correction!"

Another great quote/principle from my mentor, AR Bernard; "The true evidence of learning is application". (I am paraphrasing because I dont remember it verbatim) The gist of the quote is that you haven't really learned something until you apply it to your life!! The other fact about learning is that it always exposes the things you are doing wrong to the correct way of doing! After yesterday's post error; I discovered (learned) what I did wrong, and to prevent it from happening again, I have to be disciplined to apply the right way that came from learning.

Let's face it, we don't usually like discipline - don't want to hear people talk about it, we don't even want to SAY the word, do we? When I think of the word; the next thing that comes to my mind is: PAIN!! But, God says to us in his Word, "If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it". So, there is NO getting around the important of discipline in our lives because we want to learn to be wise, no???

So, make a wise choice, LOVE discipline!!

I love you & appreciate you!
