My Note: As we chasten our children God chastenes us Ref. Scripture Deut. 8:5
As a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee
2nd scripture Deuteronomy 8:1 ķAll
the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do,
that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the
LORD sware unto your fathers.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which
the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble
thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou
wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee
to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did
thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by
bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD
doth man live.
4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee,
neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart,
that, as a man chasteneth his son,
so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments
of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into
a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring
out of valleys and hills;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines,
and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without
scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are
iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
Remember those spankings from dad or mom when you were a child.
You're still getting them now from God; do you recognize them or do you think you just have bad luck sometimes?
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
