Daily Devotional: 9th June “REBUKE”

READ: Mark 8:27-33

Be ye angry and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: – Ephesians 4:26

Any believer who gets angry at correction must be watched closely. “Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.” (Proverbs 9:8).

A wise man will be happy at correction because he will think through it and realize that he is being helped. Often the truth is painful. On one occasion, Jesus addressed Peter and said to him, “Get
thee behind me, Satan.” Notice that Peter was not angry at being called Satan. After this rebuke, Peter went on to become the great man of God who preached to thousands!

During a visit to one of my branch churches, an instrumentalist was very rude to his choir director. The pastor in charge sternly rebuked this musician. I watched this scene quietly, wondering what would happen next. Fortunately, the musician did not get angry at his pastor’s rebuke and is doing well up until today. I know some musicians who would have walked out at that kind of correction. “Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished” (Ecclesiastes 4:13).

God gave us fathers and mothers to correct and advise us. You should thank God if your parents are alive. Those who do not have good parents to guide and correct them are at a disadvantage. However, allow God to use His Word to correct you. Correction will help you stay on track, so do not be angry
at correction.
