Do YOU (Believers) need a “swift kick” to get back on God’s Path? What do I mean by “God’s Path”, YOU (Believers) ask? Well, when God Almighty Created YOU (Believers), and Breathed “The Breath of Life” into your (Believers) nostrils, He (God Almighty) also Created a uniquely special path, “God’s Path”, for YOU (Believers) to walk. When We (Believers) walk God’s Path for Us, We (Believers) are doing what God Almighty wants Us (Believers) to be doing. It means, We (Believers) have God Almighty, as Our First Priority. It means, We (Believers) realize, that Our Lord Jesus Christ abides within Us (Believers), through The Holy Spirit. It means, We (Believers) strive to be as sin-free as possible. It means, We (Believers) read AND study God’s Word, The Holy Bible. It means, We (Believers) commune with God Almighty and Jesus Christ, through prayer. It means, We (Believers) spend time in Fellowship with each other, in Bible Study Groups, Prayer Groups, and God Almighty’s House of Prayer (Church). It means, We (Believers) use Our Spiritual Gifts to share and Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ. We (Believers) share about God’s Amazing Saving Grace through God’s Free Gift of Salvation. When We (Believers) walk God’s Path, We (Believers) receive His (God Almighty’s) Blessings, because We (Believers) are doing precisely what God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, want Us (Believers) to be doing.

So, what happens when We (Believers) walk away or veer off, God’s Path, YOU ask? What happens when We (Believers) decide to walk Our (Believers) own path, instead of God’s Path? Let’s see what God’s Word, The Holy Bible says.

“For consider Him (Jesus Christ) who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself (Jesus Christ), lest YOU (Believers) become weary and discouraged in Your (Believers) Souls. YOU (Believers) have NOT yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. And YOU (Believers) have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to YOU (Believers) as to Sons: ‘My Son, do NOT despise The Chastening of The LORD (God Almighty), nor be discouraged when YOU (Believers) are Rebuked by Him (God Almighty); for whom The LORD (God Almighty) Loves He (God Almighty) Chastens, and Scourges EVERY Son whom He (God Almighty) Receives.’ If YOU (Believers) endure Chastening, God (God Almighty) deals with YOU (Believers) as with Sons; for what son is there whom a father does NOT chasten? But if YOU (Unbelievers) are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then YOU (Unbelievers) are illegitimate and NOT sons. Furthermore, We (Believers) have had human fathers who corrected Us (Believers), and We (Believers) paid them (human fathers) respect. Shall We (Believers) NOT much more readily be in Subjection to The Father of Spirits (God Almighty) and Live? For they (human fathers) indeed for a few days chastened Us (Believers) as seemed best to them (human fathers), but He (God Almighty) for Our (Believers) profit, that We (Believers) may be Partakers of His (God Almighty’s) Holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields The Peaceable Fruit of Righteousness (to be in God’s Immediate Presence) to Those (Believers) who have been trained by it.”

What We (Believers) call, Trials or Tribulations, are actually being Rebuked, being Chastened, by The Father, God Almighty. Consider this, a “swift kick” by God Almighty, to nudge Us (Believers) back to walking His (God Almighty’s) Path, for Us (Believers). So, Fellow Believers, may I ask, are YOU walking your own path, instead of God’s Path? Do YOU need a “swift kick” to get back to walking God’s Path?
