Don’t Despise God’s Chastening Prov 3:11-12 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. God will bring chastisement unto us because He loves us and cares for us like a father or mother who loves their children and brings correction to their lives. The bible says no one likes the chastisement for the moment but afterward it brings peaceable fruit of righteousness (Heb 12:11). Like Jesus, we learn from the things that we suffer. Jesus was tempted in all points such as we and was yet without sin. Hebrews 5:8 states that Jesus learned patience from the things which He suffered. It’s hard to imagine that Jesus had to learn. He picked the twelve disciples and one of them betrayed Him. What is it that you are suffering from today? Learn from it. Don’t repeat the same mistakes over and over. God has great things prepared for you. You have to fight the good fight of faith to receive them. God wants you to have total victory. Acts 14:21-22 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Prayer Focus: Father, thank you for loving and correcting me. Verse of the Day: Heb 12:6-7 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? Living the Word Today: God’s correction is His demonstration of His love for you. Accept and grow in it!
