Sal. 119:67,71• 67Antes que fuera yo humillado, descarriado andaba; Mas ahora guardo tu palabra.

He. 12:5‑11• 5Y estáis ya olvidados de la exhortación que como con hijos habla con vosotros, diciendo: Hijo mío, no menosprecies el castigo del Señor, Ni desmayes cuando eres de él reprendido.
6Porque el Señor al que ama castiga, Y azota á cualquiera que recibe por hijo.
7Si sufrís el castigo, Dios se os presenta como á hijos; porque ¿qué hijo es aquel á quien el padre no castiga?
8Mas si estáis fuera del castigo, del cual todos han sido hechos participantes, luego sois bastardos, y no hijos.
9Por otra parte, tuvimos por castigadores á los padres de nuestra carne, y los reverenciábamos, ¿por qué no obedeceremos mucho mejor al Padre de los espíritus, y viviremos?
10Y aquéllos, á la verdad, por pocos días nos castigaban como á ellos les parecía, mas éste para lo que nos es provechoso, para que recibamos su santificación.
11Es verdad que ningún castigo al presente parece ser causa de gozo, sino de tristeza; mas después da fruto apacible de justicia á los que en él son ejercitados.

 God does judge evil, but He begins at His own house. God's hand is in the dealings which make His people suffer, as well as man's. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 94-101 by J.N. Darby)
 God with the chastening teaches out of the law. God, by all this process of evil having the upper hand, breaks the will, teaches dependence, separates not only the heart but the spirit from the world where this evil reigns. How could there be union with a world in which this power of evil is seen and morally shrunk from? (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 94-101 by J.N. Darby)
 There is, with the discipline of His hand, direct inward teaching by His word, which reveals Himself. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 94-101 by J.N. Darby)
 The godly soul learns, in the hour of trial, that, as ever, God uses the time of trial for the blessing of His people. Thus he can say, “Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD.” (Psalms 94 by H. Smith)
 “Thou chastenest” is the admission that behind the hand of those who trouble God’s people there is the hand of God dealing with His people. “Thou teachest” is the acknowledgment that through chastening God teaches His people, not only what is in their hearts but the grace, the goodness, and the holiness of His own heart, so that distrusting themselves they may rest in God. (Psalms 94 by H. Smith)
