God and Discipline
The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
If I were to do to my children what many people think God does to His children, I’d be arrested for child abuse. People say God is good, yet they credit Him with causing cancer and natural disasters and even blame Him for terrorist activities. They constantly embrace a hellish situation in their lives because of the thought that God intended it for good.
That way of thinking infects the God-given ability to discern the works of the devil with a human reasoning that is demonic in nature. In fact, it’s not just discernment that is in question—this kind of breakdown in our assignment to spiritual maturity causes us to forget who the enemy really is and what we’re actually fighting against.
Jesus taught us how to recognize the works of the devil and then modeled how we destroy them. Do we have the right to set a new way of life and ministry that doesn’t do what Jesus commanded us to do? Absolutely not!
It is time to reexamine our belief system and find out what the Bible really teaches about the nature of God.
Prayer: Lord, help me to see You as You are. I want to know You as my good Father, who gives good gifts to His kids.
