God’s relationship with his children reminds us that discipline and grace can work in tandem, helping us parent our own kids towards both a right obedience and a right worship.

As much as we’d like to protect them, our children will inevitably face trials and suffering. When they do, we can trust God is with us and he’s working in their lives.

Moms make the best detectives. But while we scramble to solve each mystery, our hearts can often be misled by the lie of the gospel of cause and effect.
