Thriving In a Season of Chastising, Part IV

This is my second post for today, but I wanted to continue with Beth Moore's study, "Thriving In a Season of Chastising, Part IV." Please look up each scripture reference, to get the maximum benefit and personal revelation.
To get through chastisement victoriously:
1) Do not take it lightly. Hebrews 12:5a
2) Do not lose heart over it. Hebrews 12:5b. Proverbs 3:11-12 Know that God disciplines those He delights in.
3) Humble yourself and receive it. God is drawn to humility. He esteems it. I Peter 5:6. It is a promise that if you will humble yourself before Him, under His mighty hand, He will pick you up in due time, when the process is complete.
4) Never lose sight of the ultimate goal of all chastisement, of what God is after. Hebrews 12:12-13. The ultimate goal of all chastisement is to heal you. He wants you to be healed. I love that even in all my stupidity, God works with me, to heal me. That thing that gets you into trouble needs healing. Every fault line is a broken place. When I keep doing something, something is broken and needs healing. Work with Him, and He will heal you.
What is the "lame thing"? What got broken? What broke it? Ask God. He will give you insight. He wants you to know, so you can be cured. Hebrews 12:11. Galatians 6:7-8. It is the natural law that "you reap what you sow." Know this, though. The only thing that can change how this "harvest" turns out is cooperating with God, with your knees down and your chin up.
The worst thing that ever happened can reap a harvest of righteousness. Cooperate with Him, and reap a harvest of peace and righteousness. I Corinthians 4:4. Your past may not be innocent, but your conscience can be clear, by going through it with God and letting His chastisement heal you.
