Delight to Correction

 

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.

Friends, what we have to learn is not to despise God’s rod of discipline to correction; it might seem hard, but it ends with a happy ending. Let’s rather delight in correction. 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. 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. Therefore, pay close attention to God's corrections because he is extraordinarily patient.  We may all make resolutions in our lives, but we should always observe if we are acting on them.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, help me to keep following your corrections no matter how far I have gone on the wrong way, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Ask yourself: Am I acting on my resolution by putting them into action
