Knowing God - God Reforms




Lev 26:23-24
 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

The Lord Could Walk Contrary to Us

Our God deals with His children like sons.  We are legitimate children who oftentimes face discipline when we are walking contrary to Him and His plans for our lives.  Many things that come into our lives are intended to reform us.  They are to draw us close to Him and help us prioritize our lives in the manner that He desires them to be lived.  If we resist His prodding and instruction and choose to walk contrary to Him after we realize He has shown us His ways, we will face the Lord walking contrary to us.  We will most likely face unnecessary consequences because we are being stubborn and rebellious.  Our God does deal like this and it would behoove us to cooperate with any sort of training at the beginning rather than harden our hearts or do what is right in our own eyes.  We don’t want the Lord walking contrary to us.  We want His paths with Him walking with us.
