When God says .......
A whip for the horse, A bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the fool’s back. (Proverbs 26:3 NKJV).
In the Amplified Bible it goes - "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a [straight, slender] rod for the backs of [self-confident] fools. (Proverbs 26:3 AMP).
God reminds us that there is consequence for foolishness. It can be painful at times. The rod He use is not a rod of condemnation. But, a rod of correction, as a whip for the horse and a bridle for the donkey. That is to re-set our ways to wise living. He does that out of love.
We ought to be conscious and careful not to assume that all pain of rod is the devil's work. Or, a testing of faith. It can be a result of our foolish doing - because we are ignorant of God's good plans or just plain rebellious. Let's allow the rod of His discipline to rid us of that attitude, in humility, meekness and wisdom.
It is written: - "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (Revelation 3:19, 20 NKJV).
Let's welcome correction. Listen to His voice. Open the door of our heart. Let Him in. Let's fellowship with Him.
And I say ... AMEN!
