Loving Discipline of Children
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. 16 When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases; but the righteous will look upon their downfall. 17 Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.
This is another area of need of constant reminder and vigilance for me. IT can be all too easy to allow a child to be left to himself for a moment or through transgression. The easier route is too ignore it or to let it go on. The right route is to stop it and to reprove and teach with loving discipline. The bible is clear time after time that we need to offer discipline to our children and they will follow in the ways they should go. Yet if we let them go without reprimand then it will only continue to get worse.
Proverbs 13:24 - He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
Proverbs 19:18 - Discipline your son while there is hope; do not set your heart on his destruction.
Proverbs 22:15 - Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
Proverbs 23:12-14 -12 Apply your mind to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge. 13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. 14 If you beat him with the rod you will save his life from Sheol. 15
Ephesians 6:4 - Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Hebrews 12:6 - For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives."
Hebrews 12:7 - It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
Hebrews 12:8 - If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
Hebrews 12:11 - For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
