There are two starkly different viewpoints when it comes to God’s correction. We can either be grateful for everything life has given us…or we can be resentful for everything life has done to us. In Lamentations 3:33 it tells us that God does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men, meaning God’s ongoing instruction requires occasional chastisement. But we need to remember that this correction is not calculated by God to harm or anger us, but to teach, direct, convict, and bring us into a right relationship with Him. We need to also remember that the Lord disciplines those He loves, (Proverbs 3:12) and we should look at His correction then in a positive way, with gratitude in our hearts, (Colossians 3:16) not with bitterness & regret.
