Everything is ultimately in God’s hands, God controls everything (Proverbs 20:24).
Don’t forget who is in charge.
What has God corrected you on, and what are some things that you need to mature on?
1 Timothy 4:8 “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things,
having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.”
What is your workout plan for spiritual growth in Christ?
Bodily exercise profits very little; what are you working on in Christ?
God is a merciful God but it would be in your best interest to not play games with him.
If you are feeling depressed or stressed go to God.
Everything that happens, whether it be good or bad, is because God allows it to happen.
Ecclesiastes 7:5 “It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.”
Hebrews 12:6 “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”
God corrects you, but he does so to help you.
When God corrects you, repent and ask for forgiveness. You can’t fight against God and win.
