The D Word
I’m sure I’ve read this verse before, but it didn’t really strike me until I heard a song based on it. If the only thing you know about Bobby McFerrin comes from “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” you have really missed out.
Check out this version of his song, “Discipline.”
It’s not a word we like. But it simply means “guiding in the path.” We only become disciples through discipline. Therein lies true freedom.
No discipline is fun while it lasts, but it seems painful at the time. Later, however, it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness for those who have been trained by it. (Hebrews 12:11)
Peace.
