King Hezekiah prayed the same prayer in Isaiah 36:18 when he asked to extend his life, and when God answered His prayer, he said that the Lord’s discipline is good.
The biggest judgment that you can ever experience from God is Him not discipline us.
God’s discipline is His expression of His love towards us.
Any pain while disciplining is temporary but on a long run, it leads to life.
God might have disconnected or removed some relationships from your life or you might have lost an opportunity, if God is disciplining you by this then its a good thing, though temporarily it may be hard and painful.
As a result of receiving the discipline of God over your life, you are going to be made whole.
God is a good father and what father loves his children and yet does not discipline them.
If you are going through disciplining in your life, enjoy it, because the more you enjoy it, the more it will bless your life.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
