Theme for the Week: THE BENEFITS OF JUSTIFICATION: ASSURANCE OF GOD'S LOVE
Reading: Proverbs 3:11-12
_______________________
Proverbs 3:12 (NIV)
because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
The love of God makes it difficult for Him to ignore to discipline us when we sin. Those the Lord loves, He chastises, so that they can walk on the right path and be called children of God.
He that refuses the rebuke of God is gearing towards their own doom. And it makes you unaware of the glory we can enjoy under the emblem of God.
Never take the sufferings and sacrifice you have to make as a punishment from God: they are there to refine you to conform to the purpose and glory of God for your life in Jesus Christ.
Hallelujah!
Let's Pray:
Almighty God, we bless You. Father, give us the strength to endure affliction and replenishment from You that we may be refined to conform Christ. Amen.
