1-minute devotion for Sunday, 12/21/25
“He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love].” Proverbs 13:24 AMP
“Parents are counseled to discipline their children so that they do not persist in foolish ways (22:15) that can only lead to their destruction (19:18; 23:13–14). Discipline “imparts wisdom” (29:15) and promotes a healthy and happy family (29:17). It is rooted in love (see 3:11–12 and note). rod. A concrete figure of speech for caring discipline of any kind.” NIV Case for Christ Study Bible
In His Love, Cindy

Sometimes it doesn’t matter why they did something “bad”! They just need discipline. We must bring our children up to follow God’s Word. That’s the best plan!
