My child, I sing over you even when I

discipline you. “Despise not thou the

chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou

art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord

loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every

son whom he received” Hebrews 12:5-6.

Let Me illustrate to you in the world of

nature your need to thank your Heavenly

Father for the disciplines of adversity.

A magnificient eagle soared to the heights of

a rocky crag and calmly turned to witness a

spectacular sight in the wilderness below. A

vast multitude of men, women, and children

had entered his desolate domain.

High atop the mountains, a little eaglet cried

out for food, and seemingly out of nowhere a

nutritious meal appeared. Far below a

similar cry went up for food, and out of the

heavens God provided delicious manna.

When the thirsty people pleaded for water,

God fulfilled their need in a miraculous way.
