When God says...
"He who spares the rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly."(Proverbs 13:24 NKJV)
He lets us know that, at times, we experience discomfort from the rod of His discipline because He loves us. That's the Lord's cue of what good parents should do to the children they love. Promptly, the rod of chastisement is to be applied with affection. This passage reminds that absence of correction over those entrusted in our care - our children, they are gift from God, is the worst form of hatred.
The moment of correction, as recipient thereof, would be our pop up alert to re-set the course of how we live. We are to effect change in our habit for the better, aligned with the counsel of God's holy words. We are to take action to re-direct our navigational sights. We let our steps be in sync with the lead of the Holy Spirit in our walk with God, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Our Heavenly Father because of His love He corrects, as it is written: “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.” (Revelation 3:19 NKJV)
And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
