Chastening!

Who wants to be rebuked and chastened as love?

Do you remember being chastened and rebuked by your Dad or Mom, how did you feel, within? I remember some 'little' things that use to annoy me, and even still now at times I am reminded, within.

Like my Dad taking my cookie or choc bar away right at the moment when I am just enjoying it, and saying: "Save some for tomorrow."

I am like tomorrow? Whats that?

Why give your son or daughter something today and then break it in half or confiscate some for tomorrow. You might as well cut the choc bar or cookie into 365 days and tell me, now we have enough for the entire year. Great thinking dad!

Its those little things that really get you going, like the toilet seat being left up by your spouse, woman or room mate. Or your cheeks being pulled to shreds by that awful friend, auntie, or uncle of the family.

GOD CHASTENS:

This weekend I yet again had to read the entire book of Hebrews about faith and chastening. It all began on Friday and I was furious with God (well I tried..) I just wanted to be honest and let God know how I was feeling inside of truth. I will not give you all but I was quite angry. I stood for hours just trying to tell God, enough is enough.

Of course it did not work.

Then the next day, I spent the day reading Hebrews, that taught me that 'chastening' is what God uses as His sign of love. I was again silenced into wisdom.

God is so serious about chastening, that IF you are not chastened then in His eyes and Holy scriptures you are a "bastard" and not sons. [See Hebrews 12:8]

I hate pain and suffering! I hate lack; and I hate poverty with a passion. I have to admit that I have had it good all of my life, but there is a move of God that is testing the pants off me. I am being 'educated' and drawn into chastening, and I like the idea of being a Son of God, but the pain and suffering is now years and well over a million.

So with God the more that you are chastened, is the more that you are esteemed in His eyes. [See Hebrews 12: 6,11] In fact in that citation you are 'exercised'.

Nice work out God, thanks from your son.

THE CONCLUSION:

After two days of deliberation, study and fasting, I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to be 'rejected' of [Hebrews 12:17].

If you are an unbeliever of God or the Christ, you will still witness His Word one day. God is not in the business of votes. He is a God of Universal truth and that is all.

I am going to embrace His chastening and scourging the best that I can, and remind myself daily I am His loving son.

If you respect the Word of God, don't give up on those relationships of chastening, hang on in there, for God is in control.
