The Lord teaches – Psalm 94:12-13
The psalmist brings a pearl of wisdom or
common sense. Often the Bible is a
collection of pithy and
wise
sayings and stories of common sense and accounts of men dealing with a God of
grace, mercy and
love. Here the psalmist points out that a person
that the Lord disciplines and correct is actually blessed.
One man
stated that the Lord loves us to much to allow us to stay the way we are. We are flawed, sinful
And
prideful. This needs to be corrected or
we will be selfish vain and damaging to others.
We correct
Our
children because their bad behaviour hurts themselves and others. God does the same with us.
The
problem is no one really likes to be corrected.
When a person is taught by the word of God
this actually gives them relief in their times of trouble.
The Bible
is a compass and guide book for life. In
its pages you find written examples of how to avoid
Trouble
and the consequences of sin and pride.
These examples are given so we do not have to make
The same
mistake as others.
The psalmist says that a pit is waiting
for the wicked. You reap what you
sow. Often we find our-
Selves in
a pit of our own making. Wicked creates
pits of despair or hurt. Sow wickedness
and you
Reap
wickedness. Sow righteousness and you
will reap righteousness. Seems the
choice should be
Clear.
