"A Child Who Gets His Own Way Brings Shame...."

"The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother." (Proverbs 29:15)

This applies to individuals and nations.  America and indeed the nations of the world have experienced the "rod and reproof" of the Living Christ.  Man sowed his "wild oats" of greed and hoped for a crop failure.  But the "crop" did not fail.  It "brought forth fruit," and instead of receiving "correction," man has manifested as "a child who gets his own way." 

A person or people group who are always clamoring for their "own way" will bring shame, not only on their progenitors, but on themselves.  Man was not created to get "his own way."  Genesis 3 proves this.  Genesis 2 in the Amplified Bible says that we were created to "tend and guard and keep" the earth--------- and each other.  We were created to serve, not rule over men and nations!  The "dominion" talk of the last couple of decades is just a cloak for religious man demanding "his own way."

Jesus said, "But I am among you as the one who serves."  Jesus prayed to Our Father, "Not my will, but Thine be done," and His Prayer, "The Lord's Prayer," teaches us to pray and live the same.  Our Lord Jesus is the Perfect Example of an obedient child, submitted to His Father's will.  How on earth can I manifest otherwise.   

Father, in the Name of Jesus, Holy Spirit, convict me every time I act like a spoiled child.  Amen.

"Jesus never mentioned unanswered prayer.  He had the boundless certainty that prayer is always answered." (Oswald Chambers)
