Have you ever been going through something genuinely hard and wondered if God was somewhere else - or if you'd done something wrong? This short devotional might just change the way you see it.
We're closing the Wisdom for Real Life series in Proverbs 3 with what might be the most honest - and most hopeful - verse in the whole chapter. God doesn't correct you because he's disappointed. He corrects you because he delights in you. And that changes everything.

What you'll take away:

- Why God's discipline is a sign of closeness, not distance
- What the Bible honestly admits about the pain of hard seasons
- The "peaceful harvest" that follows every difficult time
- How this passage gives us a calling to speak honest, caring truth into others' lives
