The Importance of Living Disciplined, by Jay Quine

The Olympic Flag flying in Victoria, British C...Proverbs 1:8 The Hebrew word for "Discipline" (musar)
Today’s athletes are amazing. Their skill and talent astonish us. How can they be so fast, so strong, and yet so graceful? But there is a danger in watching a championship game, or final Olympic event. We don’t see the tough, hard, long training that it took to get to that level as the best of the best. Bible notes that tough, hard training is the formula for success. The Hebrew word is musar. Proverbs tells us, “Hear, my son, your father’s musar.” Dad should instruct his children in a disciplined, deliberate, and diligent fashion so that his children excel in skill and talent. This is Dr. Jay Quine. Dad, take time with your kids. Get them in the game. Keep the standards high. Remember the word musar, for their training in life .
