Theological / Devotional

The Lord hath chastened me. From time to time the Lord permits affliction to come to His people in order to wean them away from the things of earth. The chastening rod seems hard, but it is administered by an all-wise and all-loving hand (see Job 5:17; Prov. 3:11; Heb. 12:5, 7, 11).
