CONTRASTING APPLICATIONSThe discipline of men may be demanding but just, as reflected in the reign of Solomon, or cruel and unjust, as observed in the threats of Rehoboam (1 Kings 12:1-15, esp. vs. 11 & 14; cf. 2 Chron. 10:11, 14).

CONTRASTING APPLICATIONSThe discipline of men may be well intentioned but potentially flawed; in contrast, the discipline of God is always appropriate and perfectly administered (Heb. 12:4-11).
Divine discipline is manifested through God’s power, precepts and providential care (Deut. 4:32-40; 11:1-7; cf. Job 5:17-18).

CONTRASTING REACTIONS
Foolish men reject discipline (Psa. 50:16-21; Prov. 13:18; 15:5-6, 31-33; 19:27).
Because they do not learn from their own mistakes, “the discipline of fools is folly” (Prov. 16:22).
Such spiritual dullness is evident in those who are promiscuous (Prov. 7:21-23), and in drunkards (Prov. 23:29-35).

CONTRASTING REACTIONS
Additionally, men may devote themselves to religious systems, which may be demanding, but wholly false and futile (Jer. 10:6-16; Col. 2:20-23).

CONTRASTING REACTIONS
Wise men accept discipline (Prov. 3:11-18; 13:1).
Accordingly, they enjoy the benefits/blessings of discipline (Prov. 6:20-23; 12:1; 19:20).

CONTRASTING REACTIONS
Wise fathers will administer suitable discipline; wise children will accept the same, leading in time to self-discipline (Prov. 23:12-14; 19:18; 22:15; 23:13; Eph. 6:4).

CONTRASTING REACTIONS
In like manner, disciples of Christ should evidence self-discipline (1 Cor. 9:24-27) and spiritual discipline (1 Tim. 4:7-10), freely submitting to the instructive and corrective discipline of the Lord (Col. 2:1-7; 2 Tim. 1:6-7; Rev. 3:14-22).

CONCLUSION
Thanks be to God for His divine love, and also His divine discipline.
May our response to the discipline of the Lord reflect a spirit of humility rather than arrogance.
May we manifest wisdom that makes proper application, rather than folly that rejects the same.
