Despise not Correction

 

Text: Job 5:17-18 (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 as our helper. And certain times, he sends human figure to correct us. What we have to learn is not to despise God’s discipline of correction; it might seem hard, but it ends with a happy result. 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.

According to 2 Timothy 3:16- 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. 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 does not want anyone of us to be lost, but instead, He is giving us an opportunity to change our ways despite our mistakes. Proverbs 29:17- 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, delaying because of his faithful love towards us. God will help us in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Thank you Lord, for how you have been correcting me in my path of destiny for a glorious manifestation of my life in Jesus name.
