Kind Correction

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Kind Correction.” Arthur Jackson wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is James 5:19–20 with the key verse, “Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death.”, James 5:20. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ, all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

I am a prideful person, and to take advice or corrected does not go well with me. Now I am more mature, and, in The Word, I learned to swallow my pride and listen to others who have my best spiritual interest at heart.

James understands in a fallen world, the best of Christians go astray. He commands us to have the courage to correct and save them from (spiritual) death.

Reflect:

What risks or rewards are associated with helping a wanderer find their way back to where they belong? When did God use someone to bring you back from a not-so-good place?

Prayer:

Father, keep me from straying from Your truth and grant me the courage to help bring back those who are wandering.

My Prayer for You:

May God bless and empower you to help bring back those who are wandering.
