Podcast highlights:
- As of this recording, we have three kiddos in our lives—–two teens and an almost two-year old.
- The youngest little is learning how to navigate this new world as the trusted adults do the teaching.
- One area that is a challenge—-accepting correction without “retaliation”.
- Listen in to what happened, and what the Lord reminded me about chastening.
KJV Scripture References:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
BCU Fam, I cannot describe the warmth love I felt when the little hugged my neck after our conversation! And after that, we had no further issues or incidents when the answer was “no”. That was an example of the peaceable fruit of righteousness, meaning, although the baby did not enjoy the correction, once it was received, the right behavior came about. Similarity, we do not enjoy God chastening us either, but God does so that we can be more like Him, represent Him properly in all our interactions, AND so that we will not be condemned with the world (1 Corinthians 11:31-32). So with the Lord’s help, let’s receive and apply the perfect correction He prescribes for us. Amen? Amen! Let’s pray!
Father, in the name of Jesus, as we come before You, we thank You so much for the reminder around chastening. We admit that while correction does not feel good in the present, it is needed for our present and future, as we endeavor to be more like You, Jesus. We thank You for the peaceable fruit of righteousness and its continued growth in our lives. In Jesus Name, we pray Amen!
