Can you accept correction?

“For whom the Lord loved He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.” Proverbs 3:12”

“Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15:2

The exciting thing about receiving correction is that it is all for our benefit. Every time we accept a word regarding improvement, God gives the nod; opens the door and we are blessed; because we chose to follow it through and be obedient. We are blessed because we accept the correction from our Father. Faith accepts in love. Doubt accepts fear. One keeps you moving, the other will keep you paralyzed.

Nations are corrected but few accept this honor. Being corrected is an honor because when you are corrected you know that God our Father is still moving upon your behalf. Are you listening America? We are as a young spoiled brat unwilling to admit; we will do anything to continue to do things in our way instead of God’s way.  Even dogs are corrected and are blessed. If a nation has become so prideful and spoiled and will not humble itself;  God will humble that nation.

Whether you are young or older, there will always be words of correction given to you. Be open to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying in your life.  Every time we accept His truth, we draw nearer to God's light and see His will clearer.

Morning Prayer:

Precious Heavenly Father,

Thank you for sending those that can see things that we cannot see and hear things that we cannot hear. Thank you for your correction’s today. We thank you for your continual divine link that you have given to your people. You are always here. We can call upon you at any time and know without any doubt; you are listening. We thank you for your deep love and for hearing all of our prayers. We thank you for direction. We thank you that it is your will for us to be in that place of rest and trust in you in every area of our lives. Thank you for the honor of being corrected in every area of our lives. Keep us tightly in the palm of your hands. We speak to our souls this morning and say “Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within us! We bless your Holy Name.” Amen.
