Day 14 Malchut of Gevurah: Nobility of Discipline

Discipline, like love, must enhance personal dignity. Discipline that breaks a person will backfire. Healthy discipline should bolster self-esteem and help elicit the best in a person; cultivating his sovereignty. Does my discipline cripple the human spirit; does it weaken or strengthen me and others?

Exercise for the day: When disciplining your child or student, foster his self-respect.

What is the noble character of YHWH in Mashiyach’s spiritual shalom life? Read Philippians 4:8 NLT – Word of Encouragement verses 2-9 applies my life daily. This is for sisters and brothers in Mashiyach: Philippians 4.

Psalms 119:105-112 TLV

NUN נ

¹⁰⁵ Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.^[a]
106 I have sworn and confirmed
to observe Your righteous rulings.
¹⁰⁷ I am severely afflicted.
Keep me alive, Adonai, according to Your word.
¹⁰⁸ Please accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, Adonai,
and teach me Your rulings.
¹⁰⁹ My soul is continually in danger,
yet I have not forgotten Your Torah.
¹¹⁰ The wicked have set a snare for me,
yet I did not stray from Your precepts.
¹¹¹ Your testimonies I have as a heritage
forever, for they are my heart’s joy.
¹¹² I turned my heart to do Your decrees,
forever, to the very end.
