Gracious Greatness

Read:  Psalm 99 / Proverbs 13 / Jeremiah 43 / Gal. 4

 

Psalm 99:8 ~ Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. 

Proverbs 13:1,24 ~ A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke… He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Jeremiah 43:4,8 ~ All the captains… and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah… Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah.

Galatians 4:9 ~ After that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

 

How gracious is our Father’s rod

That lovingly corrects His own! 

He is the great Almighty God,

And yet His gentleness is shown. 

 

How wise it is to hear His voice

And heed correction for our good!

May God be honored by our choice

To live before Him as we should.
