Do you feel like you are always being corrected and rebuked for every little thing? Why are you always judging my motives and conduct rather than praising me? Well today the Holy Spirit gave me an encouraging word for you. You are being corrected first because God loves you and does not want you to fail.
Correction is a priority in the Kingdom of Jesus and we need to love it if we are to make huge progress. Proverbs.3:11, Proverbs.15:10 & 32, Proverbs.22:15, Proverbs.23:13 and Jeremiah.2:30.
He has committed Himself to you triumphing in life and will not leave you to your own devices which will bring you failure. He pointed out that the people He God leaves to their own devices are those that fall into perdition and have a hardened heart and are unable to repent and find deliverance, so we need to rejoice and be glad that God is on our back correcting our conduct.An example is Saul who the Lord told Samuel I have rejected him.1 Samuel.16:1
The Holy Spirit then pointed out that corrections also deal with us navigating things more correctly and from a wider spectrum beyond ourselves. It reflects seeing from God’s viewpoint versus ours on a matter where we are miles apart and it is only through correction and rebuke can we experience wisdom for real and can make right decisions which are vital for Godly outcomes in our lives.
He then reminded me of those He never corrected in the bible and their end and I don’t want to think on those.Too painful.
That is those He allowed to have their own way and therefore the result of their own ways which is death. We need He pointed out to me to value most highly the correction and rebuke of the Lord for that ensures we remain in His ways and means we will walk in His paths of pleasantness and peace at all times. Jesus He pointed out commanded us to follow Him not dictate to Him the path forward.
The Holy Spirit’s record of leading people to success and victory is immutable so we can follow His voice and be confident we will reach the side of victory and triumph. So today begin to develop a greater love and cherish the correction and rebuke of the Lord and just watch and see how you will be navigated out of paths of death and continual hassle and shame to paths of success and victory and great rejoicing.
Lay hold of the fact that His love for you transcends your love and care for yourself and remember that His love will keep you connected with His plan,purpose and intent for your life which will never change. Rise up in the grace these words provide you and go out and have a conquering, victorious day in Jesus Name. Amen.
