Pro 3:11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11–12 : We need to accept God’s correction with a humble heart. My son, do not despise the Lord ’s discipline or be weary of his reproof (Proverbs 3:11 ). Everyone faces hard times, but these are allowed by God as loving discipline, not as punishment. God corrects those He loves, just as a father corrects his child for their good. For the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights (Proverbs 3:12; Hebrews 12:5 ; Revelation 3:19 ). This is a comfort, because it shows that God’s correction comes from His love and desire for us to grow and be truly happy.

Everyone faces hard times, but these are allowed by God as loving discipline, not as punishment. God corrects those He loves, just as a father corrects his child for their good. For the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights (Proverbs 3:12; Hebrews 12:5 ^b; Revelation 3:19 ^c). This is a comfort, because it shows that God’s correction comes from His love and desire for us to grow and be truly happy.
