Chastening

“In the way of righteousness is life” (Proverbs 12:28).

When we go our own way, how graciously God works in our lives to bring us to our senses and turn us around to the right way! Waywardness not only dishonors Him but also robs us of joy and peace. If God allowed us to continue in the path of disobedience, we would eventually have to reap the consequences. But in love, He lets us feel His chastening hand and uses circumstances to break down our rebellion to His will. Solomon wrote, “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” (Proverbs 3:11-12 JND).

A loving Father may have to chasten His child for his own good. Many times, the child may doubt the motives of the Father, but the child’s inability to discern the Father’s purpose does not change the Father’s love or methods. If the child had more confidence in his Father, he would believe Him, even though unable to understand. This makes it easier to yield to the Father’s will and obtain peace as well. Confidence in God is necessary to enjoy peace.
