Jeremiah 10:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure—not
in your anger,
or you will reduce me to nothing.
or you will reduce me to nothing.
I love a request that a good friend regularly makes of the
Lord: "Humble me gently, Father." Transformation is hard work and
requires even more patience on God's part than it does on our part. We thank
God for his grace which lets us admit our sin and yet still come into his holy
and awesome presence. Thankfully he doesn't treat us as we deserve, but as we
need (cf. Psalm 103).
Thought for today:
Can I provide and accept gentle correction or do I need a big production so I
can get angry and blow the lesson off?
