Correct us with Your Law

Jeremiah 10:24 - O LORD, correct me, but with judgment [Law]; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.


Jeremiah Chapter 10 is more about the Church of God and as to what God sees in His Church. In today's message the people of the Church of God are crying out to the Lord to correct them with the Law and not in his wrath. One would wonder why law for the law exposes sin and sin brings death which is as good as the wrath of God.

The Hebrew word used here is 'mishpat' which is translated here and many places as 'judgment' and some places as 'law' for it inclines more towards the judge then towards the instruction of the judge. The Hebrew word used for law which inclines towards the instruction is 'torah'.

The torah was given to Moses by the Finger of God and the Finger of God is the Spirit of God. The law was given unto man by the Holy Spirit, but now by the sacrifice of Jesus we have received the Giver of the law. The Holy Spirit Who is our Helper, helps us abide by the law while operating under the grace of Jesus Christ.

We need to always remember it is only by the Spirit of God that the Church of God can stand and manifest into the Body of Christ. So let us come together and surrender unto the Potter and ask Hm to mold us into the beautiful Bride of God the Son.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord, we thank You for your mercy and grace. It is by your mercy that You the giver of the law have humbled Yourself to dwell into man and fulfill the purpose of man. The Church suffers and is persecuted because it does not abide by You. Holy Spirit, work in the Church and correct us so as to let the glory of God be seen in it like your glory was seen among the Israelites when they abided by You...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.
