Welcome, wishing you a fine and lovely day! Let's continue in Proverbs 3 with verses 9-12, then with Psalm 119 Stanza 5B, verses 37-40.

Prove 3:11-12 - God's love is manifest in receiving His loving correction and guidance. Some often link discipline with punishment. Recall, however, the term "discipline" comes from the same root as "disciple". Did Jesus go around punishing his disciples? Or did he lovingly correct and train them? Yes, discipline primarily involves loving correction and readjustment. Punishment may be necessary, at times, but love should be the clear motive, and the lesson(s) should be made understandable if possible, as well as how to avoid such punishment in the future. Also, by studying God's word personally, we may discipline ourselves before ever needing it from others. Another aspect of training is another scriptural term, "admonition." This involves training with good guidance, apart from discipline. Lovingly guiding your children when they've done nothing wrong, can build such a bond of trust and affection between parents and their offspring. Ephesians 6:4 says "And fathers, do not be irritating your children, but go on bringing them up in the discipline and admonition of Jehovah." This is primarily what's being encouraged at Deuteronomy 6:4-9, which says, by God's inspiration: "“Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. 5 You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength. 6 These words that I am commanding you today must be on your heart, 7 and you must inculcate them in your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as a reminder on your hand, and they must be like a headband on your forehead. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." Thus may we show our love for our children by the way we guide, teach, train, and correct them for their everlasting happiness and welfare!
DELIGHT IN GOD'S ORDERS. Psalm 119:40 Thus the psalmist once again highlights his fondness for God's word and guidance. According to Psalm 19:8 God's orders are righteous, and cause "the heart to rejoice." Thus we find genuine joy in obedience to God, and this obedience can be sustained, preserving us alive in God's righteousness, with integrity to Him. God's right ways and standards are a protection in many ways, and form the way of eternity. May we thus treasure the privilege of doing things God's way, learning so that it becomes "first nature" to us! Why "second nature?" GOD'S WAY is the way He created us to live in the FIRST place. Let's get back to that, and experience the happiness and rewards of doing so! (Hebre 11:6)
