Not everything that happens in our lives is God—but God can work in everything to bring about His good purpose. In Episode 9 of "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff begins exploring how God chastens His children. God's correction is not punishment, sickness, tragedy, or evil sent to teach us a lesson. Instead, the Holy Spirit instructs, corrects, and course-corrects us when we begin moving away from God's purpose for our lives. Like a GPS redirecting us after a wrong turn, God's chastening calls us to repent—to change our minds, turn around, and get back on the right path. His purpose is to conform us to the image of Christ, producing holiness, righteousness, and spiritual maturity. God can also teach us in the middle of painful circumstances, poor choices, or things the enemy intends for harm. He can bring beauty from ashes without being the One who burned the house down. The fact that God redeems something does not mean He caused it. Believers therefore need discernment. Scripture tells us there are things we should submit to and things we must resist. As we sow to the Spirit, receive God's correction, and follow His leading, His chastening helps keep us moving toward His purpose for our lives.
