Words of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 27 Dec 2008

He is the God above all gods Throughout my daily words of encouragement, I know that I have raised sensitive issues, negative topics, and your interpretation of a certain topic may be totally different from what I am saying. As I conclude this series, I want to stamp down and hold firmly that Jesus is the God above all gods. My disclaimer is that I am not God. God says to me without ever putting down any religion, without causing more hurt, God is going to reveal why He is above all. He is a God of discipline. It is not about doing what is right or wrong. Please we must get this straight and sort it out right NOW. God corrects us because: Proverbs 12:1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. Proverbs 13:24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him. Our Father, loves us! Therefore He does not spare the rod, but He is careful to discipline us. God reveals to us what is right and wrong, but He will not stop us from making stupid and foolish decisions in life. In fact, it is often through our mistakes that we are drawn even more towards God. Today, we must understand this key point. We cannot take the bits and pieces of God that we like and throw out the things we don’t like. If we hate the discipline of God, I pray for you right now. Because His Word says in Proverbs 5:11-14 At the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh and body are spent. You will say, “How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned correction! I would not obey my teachers or listen to my instructors. I have come to the brink of utter ruin in the midst of the whole assembly.” © 2008 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
