Reason For The Extra Flab….

If parents actually did a better job of disciplining their children, I don’t think America would be where it is today. People think they can do and say whatever they want. They can be rude and disrespectful to whomever they choose. This lack of discipline creates a troubled heart. A little pain (discipline) early in life, never ruined a child. I remember a story of a man I met in the gym a long time ago. He told me when he was 5 years old, he lived on one of the Caribbean islands. He was poor. When a new, wealthier classmate came to his school with new, matchbox cars, he stole one. His father knew he lied about where and how he obtained it. So the next day, at school, in front of his entire kindergarten class, he had to apologize for stealing the car. Then, his father pulled his pants down and spanked Him in front of the class. You say, “how cruel, or that’s child abuse”. The man then said, “I never stole again”. What society deems anti-PC, or cruel or abusive, the Bible calls discipline. There’s a reason why our behinds has extra flab on them, it’s called the seat of discipline. As long as it’s done in love, you will never worry about second-guessing the outcome. Discipline produces wisdom. And that will always make the heart glad.

17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad. Proverbs 29:17
