Discipline and Disciple, Same Root Word? Devotional (Words from the Lord series)

I hear your praises my daughter, I know the intent of your heart.

Discipline is the keyword. Not by way of drudgery, but allowing My discipline to flow through you.

Give me your heart, your will and I shall change you.

Hebrews 12:6

For whom the LORD loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives." (NKJV)

Deuteronomy 8:5

You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you. (NKJV)

Proverbs 13:24

He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly. (NKJV)

Hebrews 12:3

[ The Discipline of God ] For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. (NKJV)

Lord Jesus, help us to receive your discipline with graciousness and to respond quickly. So that we may grow more childlike and less childish daily. We do offer our hearts to you for change. Make us totally your disciples. AMEN
