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

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.

(Mateo 6:33) Muchas veces pasamos por momentos difíciles y nos sentimos débiles, sin fuerzas para continuar. El mundo que nos rodea puede estar lleno de desafíos, pero la Biblia nos enseña que cuando buscamos a Dios, encontramos fuerza, paz y dirección para nuestras vidas. Buscar a Dios significa ponerlo a él primero, confiar en él y buscar su presencia todos los días. Cuando oramos, leemos la Biblia y adoramos a Dios, nos conectamos con él y recibimos su poder. Este poder nos fortalece para afrontar cualquier dificultad y nos da valentía para luchar las batallas diarias. La cobertura del poder de Dios ocurre cuando permitimos que el Espíritu Santo actúe en nuestras vidas. Él nos da sabiduría, nos guía y nos ayuda a vivir según la voluntad de Dios. A menudo resolvemos las cosas por nuestra cuenta y nos sentimos cansados. Pero cuando entregamos todo a Dios, él nos renueva y nos da fuerzas para...
