#23: I WILL CORRECT YOU IN JUSTICE

When we suffer, we often complain in our soul,

We often do not understand God’s true goal!

He does not delight in giving out punishment,

But He must uphold justice in His holy judgment.

 

Because of the multitude of our sins in life,

We will often experience great trials and strife.

How we need to look at things at a deeper level,

We will recognise that God has not intended evil.

 

It is for our sake that He chastens us sorely,

If we learn well, we will be restored fully.

There may be pain and sadness for a while,

But His fullness of blessing will bring a smile.

 

Our wounds will be healed and there will be joy,

When God corrects, He seeks to remove sin’s alloy.

He wants us to be His people, pure and holy,

We must learn how to fear our God reverently!
