The sure way of knowing you are a child of God is that He chastens those who are His. It is easy to look at Bible figures like Jonah and point out how silly they look when the disobey God and then pout when they are chastened. We should not be like this. God is trying to shape us not into what we want to be but into what He wants us to be. Can you imagine how Peter must have felt when Jesus told him "Get thee behind thee Satan." What stunning words those were. To be a useful instrument of God, we need for Him to be the potter and for us the clay.
Daily Prayer: Lord, fill us with a thankful heart, even if our heart's desire is not Your will for our life. Instead, let us be willing servants to do what is Your good pleasure. In Your Holy Name I pray Amen.
