February 23 Psalm 15:32 “Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.” Discipline of course isn’t fun, especially if you’re on the receiving end of the stick. Discipline is an important element that is needed in life. It is needed for correction, sanity, and uprightness. Those who disregard discipline are indeed those despise themselves.

February 19 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” The word of God is living and very much accurate.
