Chastised -- learning from that chastisement we should--
Heb 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
Heb 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Lift up the hands.
Lift us the feeble knees.
Make straight paths.
The lame will be turned out.
Let it be healed.
We have to let our spirit be healed. We have to have faith- raising our hands, our knees, walking straight. We have to be spiritually strong! If our spiritual Father is chastising us - teaching us so we are made spiritually sound in Him, we have to accept this chastising and let it make us STRONGER spiritually, NOT weaker. We will be tempted to let our chastisement get us down, to depress us, to make us weaker and not stronger. When you're put through a fire you feel the pain and agony of that fire but when the fire is over you either heal and are determined to be stronger, or succumb to the chastisement letting it make you weaker. It's satan's entire purpose to bring us to despair. Satan wants us to remain weak spiritually. Satan doesn't want us strong in the Lord! Satan would have us weak, he would have us walk on crooked paths, he wants us lame. Satan does not want us HEALED.
We have to let ourselves be healed.
We can stand in the way of our own healing.
We can set up our lives so we sabotage ourselves spiritually. We can leave no time in our day for spiritual growth. We can put more importance on work and pleasure than we do on our spirit growth. We call it RELAXING. I just need to relax which means not troubling ourselves over anything remotely like something that could possible lead us to worrying or stressing in any way.
Seriously.
We say we need to unwind which means just shutting off our minds to anything of real importance. We put ourselves in front of our television sets and just let it entertain us, but what its really doing is stealing our time. No? You'll say it makes you laugh, is lets you live without a time without thinking about your jobs, your money, your worries, your sickness, your future etc. you KNOW what I'm talking about. Next you'll say to study your Bible means having to think, having to worry, having to let go of doing nothing and work your brain when all you really want to do is NOTHING, you want to relax. You want to do something that doesn't trouble you in the least. You don't want to think about your chastisement but rather forget about it, as if it didn't happen. You don't want to be exercised by your chastisement. You don't want to learn from it. You don't want to make your paths straight, you'd much rather just forget you were walking a crooked road.
This is truth, what I'm speaking is TRUTH! You know it's truth!
We want downtime, time that means we don't have to do anything except while away the hours in semi-enjoyment, if not full-enjoyment. Laugh at your television shows, cry at them as they bring you into their lives of pure fiction and cause you heartache for imaginary beings. Pick up your books and play your computer games, your video games, do all that just so you don't have to deal with the reality of your spirit life.
Do we stand in the way of our own healing?
Let it be healed.
We are told to act-
Lift up the hands.
Lift us the feeble knees.
Make straight paths.
To 'lift', to 'make', to 'let'. These are all actions.
Lifting, making, letting.
Do we? Do we act on behalf of our Spiritual life?
More tomorrow by the GRACE of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!
May we lift, make, and let!
We would be YOURS LORD! Teach us to be YOURS. In a world that would have us concentrate totally on ourselves in a selfish way, help us to concentrate on YOU and YOUR will for us!
Please let us let it be healed!
We love You Father of spirits! We need YOU!
Bless us LORD, forgive us!
All glory, praise, and HONOR unto YOU!
