Correction is perfection: Leadership lesson or good motto for life? This is a statement my son, William V, blurted out while we were at the store. He said that it came to him and he felt like saying it.
Proverbs 15:10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way and he that hateth reproof shall die.
I know you Bible scholars were thinking of the “rod of correction” scripture referencing children. This was deeper than that, he was speaking about having a more perfect walk with God. I tell him sometimes, : I am not correcting you because you are wrong but so that you know a better way.” God tells us His Children the same thing,
Job 5:17
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty
If God is coming back for a perfect church,then we all need to get ready for a lot of correction. When things are not going your way maybe you are just receiving correction. Thank the Lord that you learn the lesson fast so that you can walk in His perfection
Ecclesiastes 7:8
8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Remember the little saying, “Correction is Perfection” and say it when you begin to think the question, “Lord, why me?”
What kind of correction are you receiving from the Lord?
