✨ Manna Moments – Chiding and Dividing ✨


In this episode, we explore what the Bible means when it speaks of God “chiding.” His rebuke is not for destruction but for correction, teaching us how to abide in Him and not be divided from His purpose. When we resist God’s correction, we risk dividing ourselves from His blessings and even colliding with consequences — but when we accept His chide, we are guided back into His will.


📖 Key Scriptures (KJV):


Psalm 103:9 – “He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.”

Isaiah 57:16 – “For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.”

Hebrews 12:6 – “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”

Proverbs 3:11–12 – “My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.”

💡 Takeaway: God’s chiding is evidence of His love, not His rejection. He corrects us so that we won’t be divided from Him, but united in His plan.


🙏 Reflection: Are you listening when God chides? Or are you hiding from His correction?
