Discipline

…yep…still raining…

“bind them upon your heart forever; fasten them around your neck. when you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you. for these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life…”

hmm…solomon’s thoughts on commands from this morning’s little lovefest with proverbs. i doubt i ever really think of commands as “the way to life…” but i guess i’m wrong pretty much all the time, so it doesn’t surprise me that i’m off on this either. i want the clear, marked out path…and God both does and does not work that way. it’s like the way is there…i just don’t want the “corrections of discipline” to be the way. but i don’t get to vote, do i?

discipline…you and i are going to have us a little tussle, aren’t we? yeah…that’s what i thought.
