So Correct Me
LORD,
But Please Be Gentle
Scripture
6 Lord, there is no one like you!
For you are great, and your name is full of power.
23 I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own.
We are not able to plan our own course.
24 So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle.
Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.
Observation
Jeremiah
was very honest when he prayed. You and I need to be honest in our prayers too!
And
this morning I agree with Jeremiah whole-heartedly when he said, “So correct
me, LORD, but please be gentle.”
I
want the Lord to keep me on course and I want to finish well, but I want the
Lord to keep his cool while He corrects me.
In
fact, God has given me promise after promise in His Word so I know that is how
he is going to treat me.
I
don’t have to be afraid.
I
don’t have to worry about Him mistreating me because He is angry with me.
If
we are His children then we don’t have to be afraid of anything!
.
The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling
out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and
mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
Exodus 34:6.
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” Lamentations 3:22-24
.
Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. John 14:1-3
Application
I will trust the Lord to keep me on course. How about
you?
Prayer
