Commentary on Deuteronomy 8:5

Theological / Devotional

Chasteneth thee. The discipline of God is always educational, never merely to inflict suffering and distress (Heb. 12:5-11; Rev. 3:19). The Greek verb translated “prove” or “proved” in 2 Cor. 8:8; 1 Tim. 3:10, almost invariably implies testing done in order to place approval upon what is so tested. Thus it is with the chastening of God (Job 23:10; Jer. 9:7).
