Not everyone appreciates correction. But David did. He felt indebted to those who corrected him and realized how much he owned them. "Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness. Let him rebuke me; it shall be as excellent oil; let my head not refuse it" Psalm 141:5 Correction is a kindness, David insists, a word that suggests an act of loyalty. Loyal friends will correct one another, even when it's painful and disruptive to relationships to do so. It's one of the ways we show love and help one another to grow stronger. "Faithful are the wounds of a friend" Proverbs 27:6 It takes grace to give godly correction; it takes greater grace to receive it. Unlike David, who accepted Nathan's correction, we are inclined to refuse it.We resent the interference; we will find that it does indeed become 'excellent oil' on our heads, an anointing that makes our lives a sweet aroma wherever we go. Growth in grace sometimes comes through the kind but unpleasant correction of a loyal friend. Do not refuse it. Glorify God and Touch Lives... One at a time. Look Forward to!: Discipleship Group 2008! YES! Though there was a small technical problem, but God is faithful! And thus the spirit of perseverance shall prevail! Let's be open spiritually to God's teaching through the lessons for this entire year! Are you excited?! This Week @ Detonate: IGNITE! IGNITE!
