The Man who God Corrects

Text:Job5:17-18 (KJV)

Behold, happy is the man who God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: for he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

As human, we all make mistakes from time to time, but the good part is that we have a God who can correct our errors and can rectify our shortcomings and inaccuracies as our helper. What we have to learn is not to despise God’s discipline of correction; it might seem hard, but it ends with a happy ending. We must remember that the word of God is entirely for edifying, this is why our Father has subscribed us to a DAILY TABLET which is the Bible .2Timothy3:16- All scriptures is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.  So, be excited when God steps in to correct you. Although He can allow something to hurt us with one hand, He can also heal and dress our wounds with the other hand. He can scold us with one hand and correct us with another hand; this is just because He loves us. So I urge us always to be happy when we receive those tips He drops on our way because He is a good God. God suffered for us so that we could repent and enjoy the blessings involved and rest in life. God does not want anyone of us to be lost, but instead, He is giving us an opportunity to change our ways despite our mistakes. Proverbs29:17- Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. Therefore, pay close attention to God's corrections because he is extraordinarily patient, and he is delaying because of his faithful love towards us. I pray we shall all be that yielded vessel in the hand of God and will not overlook those words of corrections He exposes to us. The words we receive from him are to amend and profit us, and His corrections are available both in secret and in the open. So, watch out because He knows the way and the path to follow for our great tomorrow.

Do not faint or get depressed when you do not like the corrections, because they are for our training and encouragement, so do not underestimate them. We should be open to embrace Him because He does more than what any loving father can do for his children. He can rebuke us out of His love and still accept us even today. We should not be resistant to correction because that might be the way to destruction and frustration. All God's instructions are for our benefits and not His, so always welcome them. Remember, the one He loves, He chastises. Proverbs 3:12- For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. The purpose and benefit of learning are to put them into application. So how much of God’s corrections did you attain or practically act in your everyday life? We may all make resolutions in our lives, but we should always observe if we are acting on them.

PRAYER POINTS:
