In the Master's Hands

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.”
