Proverbs 12
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but he who hates correction is stupid.
A good man obtains favor from the LORD,
but the LORD condemns a crafty man. "
What is discipline from God?
Did Job get disciplined? If so, is discipline challenges or disastrous?
Israelites was disciplined through the exodus?
Jonah disciplined through the sea and the "big fish"?
Humans was cleansed through the flood? Was that discipline?
So whoever loves disaster, pain, trials, suffering, loves knowledge?
Maybe I am not quite awake, but it does not seem quite right.
Are we supposed to be sadistic, or oppressed?
Or is it the evil one causes all the sufferings of this world, and if we do not follow God's directions and teachings, we are just plain sitting ducks, or gluttons for punishment.
I like to think and believe and know the latter is more probable.
To God be the Glory.
