Happy Monday,
Jesus Mild and Meek
Isaiah 8:11
New International Version
11 This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people:
God is mild and meek, but sometimes He has to discipline His people. Just like children, we do not like to be disciplined. Yet, we could be in danger, if God allowed us to go our own way.
We sometimes go off the path God has chosen for us. We can begin to allow sin to creep into our lives. God wants to convict us before we do major damage to ourselves through sin and iniquity.
The devil seeks to lead Christians astray. Sometimes even Christian friends and Christian leaders can lead us into sin. We must be on guard. We do this by reading God’s Holy Word and daily prayer.
1 Corinthians 11:32
New International Version
32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.
Hebrews 12:5
New International Version
5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
Pray for the people of Israel. Pray for lost souls.
Maranatha,
Betty
