Afflictions: Exhibit the Love and Faithfulness of God

So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

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, as does a father the son in whom he delights.

But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

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?

Those I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.
