“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty … He shall deliver you in six troubles, Yes, in seven no evil shall touch.”
JOB 5:17,19
If you accept His correction, no evil shall prevail over you
What is the sign of sonship? It is none other than correction. God corrects those who belong to Him (Heb 12:5-11). Do not grumble when God corrects you, for whomsoever He loves He will correct. Instead rejoice in His correction, for only then are you considered His legitimate children. Yielding to His reproof will accelerate your spiritual growth and deepen your walk in the fear of the Lord.

「神所懲治的人是有福的,所以你不可輕看全能者的管教……六次遭難,祂必救你;就是七次,災禍也無法害你。」
—(約伯記五章17節、19節)
你若接受祂的懲治
就沒有災禍可害你
兒子的名份有什麼特徵呢?沒有別的,只有管教。凡屬於神的兒女,必被祂管教(參考希伯來書十二章5-11節)。當神懲治你的時候,不要發怨言,因祂所愛的,祂必管教。相反地,你倒要歡喜接受祂的懲治,因為這證明你真是祂的兒女。服從主的責備將使你的靈命加速成長,也使你更加敬畏祂。
