CHASTENING
Today's reading: Job 5-8

"But consider the joy of those corrected by God! Do not despise the chastening of the Almighty when you sin." Job 5:17 NLT

Chastening-correction by punishment or suffering; pruning; to cause to be more humbled or restrained.

Thank You, God, for not allowing me to 'run out in the street', without discipline.

Thank You for the times You've had to 'swat my backside' to set me back on the right path.

Thank You for removing things from my hands that weren't mine or weren't the best for me.

Thank You for the 'time outs' You have placed me in to think about what I'd done.

Thank You for loving me enough to correct me, humble me and teach me Your ways!
