Blessed Correction from God
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Hebrews 12:9-11 KJV

Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD,
And whom You teach out of Your law;
That You may grant him relief
from the days of adversity,
Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
For the LORD will not abandon His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
For judgment will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.
Psalm 94:12-15 NASB

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV

Wisdom belongs to God
"With Him are wisdom and might;
To Him belong counsel and understanding.
"Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be rebuilt;
He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
"Behold, He restrains the waters, and they dry up;
And He sends them out, and they inundate the earth.
"With Him are strength and sound wisdom,
The misled and the misleader belong to Him.
"He makes counselors walk barefoot
And makes fools of judges.
Job 12:13-17 NASB
