And 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,

And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?“ My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him.

And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children? He said,“ My child, don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline, and don’t give up when he corrects you.

And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly or lose heart when you are reproved by him,

and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,“ My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, Nor faint when you are punished by Him;

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:“ My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;

My son, do not hate the Lord’ s training. Do not object when he corrects you.The Lord trains those he loves. He is like a father who trains the son he is pleased with.

“ Blessed is the person God corrects. So don’t hate the Mighty One’s training.He wounds. But he also bandages up those he wounds. He harms. But his hands also heal those he harms.

‘ I warn and correct those I love. So be sincere, and turn away from your sins.

When the Lord judges us in this way, he corrects us. Then in the end we will not be judged along with the rest of the world.

Lord, blessed is the person you correct. Blessed is the person you teach from your law.

He made it through these attacks by sinners. So think about him. Then you won’t get tired. You won’t lose hope.You struggle against sin. But you have not yet fought to the point of spilling your blood.

Blessed is the person who keeps on going when times are hard. After they have come through hard times, this person will receive a crown. The crown is life itself. The Lord has promised it to those who love him.

The Lord has really punished me. But he didn’t let me die.

I keep putting my life in danger. But I won’t forget to obey your law.

We are pushed hard from all sides. But we are not beaten down. We are bewildered. But that doesn’t make us lose hope.Others make us suffer. But God does not desert us. We are knocked down. But we are not knocked out.

Don’t be careless. Instead, be very careful. Don’t forget the things your eyes have seen. As long as you live, don’t let them slip from your mind. Teach them to your children and their children after them.Remember the day you stood at Mount Horeb. The Lord your God was there. He said to me,“ Bring the people to me to hear my words. I want them to learn to have respect for me as long as they live in the land. I want them to teach my words to their children.”

“ I have heard the groans of Ephraim’s people. They say,‘ You corrected us like a calf you were training. And we have been trained. Bring us back to you, and we will come back. You are the Lord our God.

Lord, I know that your laws are right. You were faithful to your promise when you made me suffer.

Then the Lord was very angry with Uzzah. That’s because what Uzzah did showed that he didn’t have any respect for the Lord. So God struck him down. He died there beside the ark of God.David was angry because the Lord’ s great anger had broken out against Uzzah. That’s why the place is still called Perez Uzzah to this day.David was afraid of the Lord that day. He asked,“ How can the ark of the Lord ever be brought to me?”He didn’t want to take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed- Edom. Obed- Edom was from Gath.

He said to them,“ You are the leaders of the families of Levi. You and the other Levites must set yourselves apart to serve the Lord and his people. You must carry up the ark of the Lord. He is the God of Israel. Put the ark in the place I’ve prepared for it.Remember when the anger of the Lord our God broke out against us? That’s because it wasn’t you Levites who tried to carry up the ark the first time. We didn’t ask the Lord how to do it in the way the law requires.”

Lord, don’t correct me when you are angry. Don’t punish me when you are very angry.Lord, have mercy on me. I’m so weak. Lord, heal me. My body is full of pain.

I take delight in your orders. I won’t fail to obey your word. Gimel

Joshua said,“ Lord and King, why did you ever bring these people across the Jordan River? Did you want to hand us over to the Amorites? Did you want them to destroy us? I wish we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan!Lord, our enemies have driven us away. What can I say?The Canaanites will hear about it. So will everyone else in the country. They will surround us. They’ll erase any mention of our name from the face of the earth. Then what will you do when people don’t honor your great name anymore?”The Lord said to Joshua,“ Get up! What are you doing down there on your face?Israel has sinned. I made a covenant with them. I commanded them to keep it. But they have broken it. They have taken some of the things that had been set apart to me in a special way to be destroyed. They have stolen. They have lied. They have taken the things they stole and have put them with their own things.

My son, do not forget my teaching. Keep my commands in your heart.

“ Someone might say to God,‘ I’m guilty of sinning, but I won’t do it anymore.

Put up with hard times. God uses them to train you. He is treating you as his children. What children are not trained by their parents?

But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.

Jesus is not here! He has risen! Remember how he told you he would rise. It was while he was still with you in Galilee.

Get wisdom, and get understanding. Don’t forget my words or turn away from them.

I’m as useless as a wineskin that smoke has dried up. But I don’t forget to follow your orders.

Then the women remembered Jesus’ words.

They came to the threshing floor of Kidon. The oxen nearly fell there. So Uzzah reached out his hand to hold the ark steady.Then the Lord became very angry with Uzzah. The Lord struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So Uzzah died there in front of God.David was angry because the Lord’ s great anger had broken out against Uzzah. That’s why the place is still called Perez Uzzah to this day.David was afraid of God that day. David asked,“ How can I ever bring the ark of God back here to me?”So he didn’t take the ark to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed- Edom. Obed- Edom was from Gath.
