Discipline

And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,

nor be weary when reproved by him.

For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,

and chastises every son whom he receives.”

Hebrews 12:5-6

The path got hard

but I’m Your son.

I can endure

this discipline.

The day is long

and never done.

I’ll travel with

Your discipline.

I rest my head on

pillow of stone;

wrestle the angel

in Your discipline.

I see Your hand,

my caring One,

providing grace

in Your discipline.

Trusting Your Word

I journey on,

looking to Your home

with discipline.

With high regard

for what You’ve done

I will rejoice 

in discipline.

Lord, You love me,

make me Your son;

You train in love

and discipline.

My soul will sing

as I journey upon

this pilgrim road

of discipline.
