God's discipline

Like a kid who does not know he's wrong, insists his own way and threw a tantrum, even scolding his father for it, God knows best how to deal with us. The kid may not want to talk to his father for awhile, and even resents his presence. But God our Father knows how to best deal with us accordingly. When the child knows his mistake and returns to his father, then will he comfort us and wipe away our tears, embracing us into his arms once more. God is a compassionate Father who is most patient and longsuffering.

Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
Matthew 7:9-11,see also Luke 11:11-13

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

God Disciplines His Children

4In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,


“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,

and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,

6because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,

and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”a

7Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!10They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

12Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13“Make level paths for your feet,”b so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

I know, LORD, that your laws are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
Psalm 119:75

Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
Deut 8:5

because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son."
Heb 12:6

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
Rev 3:19

Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.
1 Cor 11:32
