Hebrews 12:7 As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as His own children. Whoever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father?

– God allows some things to happen to us in order to train us

LEARN FROM THEM…

–  Our response to God’s discipline determines how much we benefit from it.

ACCEPT IT GRACEFULLY

– God is more loving and demanding than any other parent.

DRAW ON HIS STRENGTH
