“Endure Your Trials as ‘Discipline’…”

“Endure your trials as ‘discipline;’ God treats you as his sons. For what ‘son’ is there whom his father does not discipline? At the time, all discipline seems a cause not for joy but for pain, yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who are trained by it.

“So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees. Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed.”

—Hebrews 12:7-13
