My God, Thank You For Reproving Me
April 22 Scripture Meditations Based on Job 13-18
Key Verse – Job 13:10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR REPROVING ME
Thank You for reproving me of my bad motives
As well as my doubtfulness due to humanistic perspectives---
You discipline me from craving for worldly incentives
By Your principles’ directives.
Thank You for reproving me of my hypocritical secrecy
As well as my discontentment when I feel insufficiency---
You straighten me up for my prayer-fervency
By Your mercy’s persistency.
Thank You for reproving me of my earthly desires
As well as my carnal yearning for temporal wealth that soon expires---
You restrain me so as not to plunge into lustfulness’ mires
By Your revival fires.
Thank You for reproving me of my offensive indolence
As well as my disobedient silence---
You awaken me from fruitlessness’ opulence
By Your working’s prevalence.
Thank You for reproving me of my opposing disposition
As well as my wrong direction---
You lead me toward biblical action
By Your sanctification’s transformation.
Thank You for reproving me of my shameful haughtiness
As well as my arrogant selfishness---
You build me up for faith-strengthened service-effectiveness
By Your perfection’s holiness.
