The Mercy of Correction
There is a moment in 1 Samuel that I keep returning to. Eli, the old priest, hears a hard word from God through a young boy judgment on his own house, the end of his line's priestly role and his response is six words long: "It is the Lord's will." No bargaining. No deflection. No "yes, but." Just acceptance, because the One speaking is good even when the news is not. This week's devotion sits with that quiet, costly posture and asks what it looks like to receive God's correction without negotiating it down.
