Thought For Today: “Seek God’s Correction”

We need to seek God’s correction to receive His blessing.

Now, while this isn’t something we hear every day, yet this is exactly what Job found to be true.

“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; therefore, do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.” (Job 5:17)

In all of his troubles Job sought after God and seeing the benefits who wouldn’t.

What do I mean by benefits? While Job says that bruises may occur, God will bind them up. That God will deliver from all troubles. That in famine God will redeem, and in war God will protect. And when destruction comes, we’ll not be afraid. And finally, our descendants will live in peace.

Now you know why Job said that those whom God corrects are happy and blessed?

So, seek God’s correction.
