School Of Hard KnocksOf
all my childhood memories, one stands out above the others. While
I have no idea what my teacher said, I clearly remember telling her to “shut
up.” She
sent me home, so I got up and left my kindergarten class to walk
the half-block home. Walking down the sidewalk, I saw my mother weeding in the garden behind our house. I was now faced with a strategic decision—continue on my way and tell my mother why I was home early from school, or turn around and go back to face my teacher.

No chastening seems to be joyful for the present . . ; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness. —Hebrews 12:11 |
God
is passionately interested in our positive growth as His children. At times He needs to confront us with unpleasant circumstances to catch our attention and reorient our lives to more consistently produce the “peaceable fruit of righteousness” (Heb. 12:11). Don’t resist God’s corrective hand. Respond to His reproofs with thankfulness that He loves you enough to care about what kind of a person you are becoming.  Because our Father’s heart is grieved
Each time we go astray,
He lifts His chastening hand in love
To help us to His way. —D. De Haan
God’s
correction is our hope for a better life.

Espera un poco, Job, y escucha; ponte a pensar en las maravillas de Dios. - Job 37:14 ¿Hace cuánto tiempo no sacas un ratito para pensar? Sí, eso: detener todo y pensar. Sucede a menudo que el ajetreo diario nos impide percibir las cosas más simples e importantes que Dios nos proporciona... Desde el aire que respiras hoy, todo forma parte del gran regalo de Dios para ti. A veces estamos tan distraídos con todo que no nos percatamos de las maravillosas dádivas del Padre. Detente y reflexiona sobre la vida, la familia, la belleza de la creación, la salud, las sonrisas, la gentileza, la espontaneidad de los niños, el amor de Dios... ¡Hay tanto que podemos considerar y agradecer! Piensa en eso y disfruta un día lleno de bendiciones. Para y considera las maravillas de Dios hoy: Pausa un poco en tus quehaceres diarios y disfruta un tiempo a solas con Dios. Considera las pequeñas cosas, cada gesto, los detalles que revelan el gran amor que el Señor tiene por ti. Según transcurre el día agrade...
