2 O Lord, rebuke me
not in Thine anger, Neither chasten me in Thy wrath. 3Be gracious
unto me, O Lord, for I languish away; Heal me, O Lord, for my bones
are affrighted. - JPS Translation 1917
Brethren:
As is written whom
the Lord loves He chastises. (Read Proverbs 3:12). Make note however
friends that when we are corrected by our Lord, we are disciplined;
firstly, because we are indeed loved by Him and as he wishes for us
to reflect His righteousness He does so because of that love.
Secondly, His chastisement is often one done in love, this is to say
not always harsh. Recall also that when we take upon our necks His
yoke it is one that is easy, gentle, and without the harshness of an
earthly master. (Read Matthew 11:29-30). Likewise all His ways are
ways of truth, and of morality. Therefor friends take heed and
consider also for your meditations this day; Exodus 33:13; Psalm
27:11, 86:11; John 16:13; Revelation 3:19 - Doktor Riktor Von Zhades
- Servant of Christ
“Chastening is not
punishment meted out by an irate judge but discipline given by a
loving Father to help His children mature (Read Revelation 3:19).
Sometimes God chastens us in order to deal with our disobedience, but
at other times, He chastens us to prepare us for what lies ahead.
It’s like the training of an athlete for a race. I will discipline
you until you learn the lesson I want you to learn and are equipped
for the work I want you to do. When God disciplines us, we can
despise it, resist it, collapse under it, and quit or accept it and
submit. What God is seeking is submission.” - Warren Wiersbe -
