#464 Accepting the Gift of His Training
Sometimes people in our lives can say and do extremely hurtful things.
In the midst of this experience I was instructed and encouraged by these verses,
and the message to have an attitude that welcomes correction and training that HE intends.
The instrument may be rough, but the True Source is His Great Love and Wisdom.
The first step is to realize ‘This Thing is From Me.’
“Let the righteous smite me
(#1986 to strike down, by implication to hammer, stamp, conquer, disband)
It shall be a kindness (#2617 checed)
Let him reprove me It shall be an excellent oil;
It shall not break my head; (#6106 to refuse, forbid, dissuade, or neutralize)
“Do not let my head refuse it.” NASB
I WILL ACCEPT THIS AS TRAINING CORRECTION AND FROM YOU.
But my eyes are fixed on thee, the Sovereign One who keeps His covenant;
In you I flee and confide; Do not leave my soul empty or destitute.
Hedge me, guard me, protect me from the snares they have set up for me,
the noose or hooks set up by those who practice evil,
and especially intended for entrapment and destruction by ‘the roaring lion’.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets—let them experience the consequences of their actions,
as a tool for their learning; while I am empowered to cross over,
to make the transition. Psalm 141:8-10 Paraphrased
And then the LORD reminded me:
“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21
See yourself the way I see you, not the way you think that others see you.
You are Beautiful and I love you.
Song of Solomon 4:7
