Week 2 /Attribute 2 - Vigor/Discipline (Gevurah)
Sitting At The Feet Of Our Master Yeshua
G-d always Disciplines us with love....He showed His Great Love by Giving us Messiah Yeshua to pay the price for our sins. John 3:16
"A Quote From Meaningful Life" (ignore previous link, this was an error).
Tiferet of Gevurah
Not just love but compassion has to drive discipline. Love comes from recognizing one's merits and positive qualities (discipline channels and directs those strengths and weeds out the negative). Compassion is unconditional love. It is love just for the sake of love, not considering the others position. Tiferet is a result of total selflessness in the eyes of G-d. You love for no reason; you love because you are a refelection of G-d.
Also We need to Discipline ourselves daily against the works of the flesh...It is always easier to see and criticize someone elses faults and be blind to our own.
Gal 5:16 What I am saying is this: run your lives by the Spirit. Then you will not do what your old nature wants.
Gal 5:17 For the old nature wants what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is contrary to the old nature. These oppose each other, so that you find yourselves unable to carry out your good intentions.
Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, then you are not in subjection to the system that results from perverting the Torah into legalism.
Gal 5:19 And it is perfectly evident what the old nature does. It expresses itself in sexual immorality, impurity and indecency;
Gal 5:20 involvement with the occult and with drugs; in feuding, fighting, becoming jealous and getting angry; in selfish ambition, factionalism, intrigue
Gal 5:21 and envy; in drunkenness, orgies and things like these. I warn you now as I have warned you before: those who do such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God!
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal 5:23 humility, self control. Nothing in the Torah stands against such things.
Gal 5:24 Moreover, those who belong to the Messiah Yeshua have put their old nature to death on the stake, along with its passions and desires.
Gal 5:25 Since it is through the Spirit that we have Life, let it also be through the Spirit that we order our lives day by day. (Complete Jewish Bible)
Colossians 3:5-10 Complete Jewish Bible
5 Therefore, put to death the earthly parts of your nature-sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed (which is a form of idolatry); 6 for it is because of these things that God's anger is coming on those who disobey him. 7 True enough, you used to practice these things in the life you once lived; 8 but now, put them all away-anger, exasperation, meanness, slander and obscene talk. 9 Never lie to one another; because you have stripped away the old self, with its ways, 10 and have put on the new self, which is continually being renewed in fuller and fuller knowledge, closer and closer to the image of its Creator.[2]
Yes, everyone wants the blessings, but we need to remember that obedience brings the blessings!

1Sa 15:22 Sh'mu'el said, "Does Adonai take as much pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying what Adonai says? Surely obeying is better than sacrifice, and heeding orders than the fat of rams.
David Alsobrouk
"Any love, affection or worship which rightfully belongs to God, but is not given to Him, is idolatry"
