Rebellious Children

Proverbs 3:11-12:

11 My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline or be weary of his reproof,

12 for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

So often we flee from what is good for us and chase after what is not. We see this clearly in young children. Like God, we discipline a child because we care about them. We are held to the highest standard because we are held in the highest regard.
