1 | What attitude toward chastening? | OT general | Matthew 18 | 33032 | ||
If we are not supposed to despise the chastening of the Lord, why does David pray "chasten me not in your sore displeasure"? | ||||||
2 | What attitude toward chastening? | OT general | Jesusman | 33033 | ||
Hello, Chastenment was a form of disipline, not in the sense of punishment for wrong doing, but in the sense of control. To control your child, you would chasten the child. This aided in preventing your child from becoming an uncontrolable brat. In the sense of divine chastening, it is the way that God molds the believer to do His will. Now, David, in Psalms 6:1, asks the Lord not to Chasten him in wrath. Psalm 6 is a psalm for mercy. David is praying for mercy from God. God is angry with David and is punishing him. David is asking God to be gracious and not to punish or chasten him in anger. It's not that David is rejecting God's guidence, but rather that he is wanting more of God's mercy to be shown to him during this troublesome time. Jesusman |
