Discipline is setting aside how we feel and act accordingly to what we know is right. Ask Him!
[1] Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
What do we know is right? Jesus Christ! We study Him to know what is right and good. In contrast, look at the rest of this chapter:
v1. Pride
V2. Premeditated wicked schemes
V3. Wickedness
V4. Selfishness
V5. Deceit
V6. Dissension
V7. Wickedness
V8. A warped mind
V9. Pretense
V10. Wickedness
V11. Fantasy-uncontrolled thought life
V12. Envy
V13. Willful sin
V15. Arrogance
V16. Impatience
And so on. Don’t let your sin nature dictate your actions. Our job is to focus on Jesus and become like Him.
There was a popular slogan, “What Would Jesus Do?” It’s true, but it needs to be much more personal:
Jesus, What Would You Have Me Do?
Let’s study Jesus. He’s “The Real Thing.”
