“Severed Connection”
Psalm 94: 12, 13: “Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord, and teach out of Your Law; that you may grant him relief from the days of adversity.” Let’s not lose the connection between these two verses: Man is chastened and given adversity when he receives his life plan from a place other than God’s Word. Isn’t this exactly what is happening in our society today? We look to countless outside sources to guide our steps, and get upset at God when things fall apart. It’s just His way or reminding us of His way, which is the only way.
