God corrects-His chosen- in several ways. First, He would rather us be humble, receive His words (Jesus said, “learn from me”), and turn from fallen ways. Every good gift comes from Him (James 1: 17); this is where the pigheaded receives discipline. He will not force us to do right, and He will not bless wrong. He is a righteous God–be blessed!
James 1:25 (NKJV)25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
Proverbs 11:25 (NKJV)25 The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.
