Reproof: God Gives Reproof to his own Children

I will be his Father, and he will be My son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.

Blessed indeed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,

Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I keep Your word.

It was good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.

I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”

Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
