Proverbs 3:11-12 talks about the chastisement of the Lord. That it’s difficult, but an expression of His love for us…for He disciplines those He loves. I Corinthians 11:32 goes on to tell us that God’s correction and conviction is to instruct or train up, in order to cause us to conform to His Divine Truth. This persistent & patient discipline is highlighted in Job 36:10, “He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent of their evil.” God will keep bringing us back to the same issue until we finally relent and listen…opening up our ears to Divine correction and then guiding us to repentance. All the while, encouraging our personal responsiveness and opportunity for growth and moral realignment. So just remember the next time God brings you back to the same issue…His purpose is restoration, not punishment.
