The discipline of God is for the believer’s benefit. Discipline comes from the justice of God and is a manifestation of His divine love and mercy.
Divine discipline comes also from God’s love, and it is designed to bring whatever it is you’re doing to your attention for immediate correction, as in…
“Hey, you there. Knock it off. Eyes back on the Lord, please,” or even,
“Danger, Will Robinson.”
Whatever it takes, right?
