“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.”
Correction often pricks our pride. The suffering with it often puts us in the foulest of moods and we blame others for our problems and misery. But this verse puts a different viewpoint on suffering. The Lord may be correcting us, and as such, we should cling to the Lord. Correction is a blessing! What joy it is to know that the sovereign, almighty Father loves us so much that He wants correct us before we stray too far! We should not despise God for bringing correction into our life, but rather thank Him and praise Him for it because it will deepen our intimacy with Him if we only submit.
