God’s Discipline
Proves His Love
1Therefore, since we
are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us
strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily
trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before
us.
2We do this by
keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because
of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now
He is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
3Think of all the
hostility He endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and
give up.
4After all, you have
not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.
5And have you
forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as His children? He said,
“My child, don’t make light of the LORD’s discipline,
and don’t give up when He corrects you.
6For the LORD
disciplines those He loves,
and He punishes each one He accepts as His child.”
12So take a new grip
with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees.
13Mark out a straight
path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become
strong.
Hebrews 12:1-6. 12-13 NLT
