Have you ever wondered what life would be like without discipline?  It would be quite different.  Think about it...there would be no rules, no laws, no common form of doing anything. People would be doing whatever they felt like doing whether it be good or bad, and I think with all the greed and selfishness in the world it would be mostly bad.  I don't know how long humanity would last, Without discipline it would be a disaster.

I think it would be safe to say..that a world without any form of discipline whatsoever..could not survive.  Wouldn't you say that you are thankful for discipline?  I know that I am!

Well it's the same in our spiritual lives.  If we didn't get a "spiritual spanking" every now and then..we would not learn anything..and we likely would not spiritually survive.We must be thankful for "spiritual spankings" and let God know it by giving him praise no matter how the flesh feels.  

Sometimes throughout our lives everything will be going fine and dandy (which normally is when we find it the easiest to be thankful) then all the sudden God see's fit to put us over his knee and give us a good whalloping.  I don't know about you but I find it a little harder to praise God durring these times..however I know that without that discipline from time to time I wouldn't learn anything and God only knows how long I would last.

We must give God all the praise whether we feel like it or not.  In the good times praise his name..in the bad times do the same..in everything give the king of kings all the praise!
