Daily Fountain Devotional For Thursday, MESSAGE
Reformation is often born out of chastening as evident in our text today. When God chastens His people, it is with the intention to bring them to the place of reformation. The more hardened they are despite the chastening, the fiercer the punishment until they acknowledge their sins, and humble themselves before God in repentance. Verse 23 says,”And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; then I will smite you seven times for your sins.” God however assures His repented people of His mercy for the sake of the covenant He made with their ancestors.
The calamities that have befallen our nation seem to fit the description of the punishments in our text that were meant to bring reformation. Unfortunately many in the family, church and society remain stubborn and unrepentant. In their evil ways. According to Prophet Jeremiah,”Thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction:they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return”(Jer.5:3). Beloved, personal reformation can lead to national reformation! Are you not tired rebelling against your Maker? Arise now, forsake your evil ways and turn to the LORD. He will receive you.
PRAYER: OLORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath; neither chasten me in Your hot displeasure in Jesus’ name. Amen.
