No Chastening seems to be joyful for the present time. Who enjoys going through a time of chastening from the Lord? Yet, if we are willing to submit to His Chastening it can produce a very positive effect on our lives. As a result of the Lord’s Chastening our lives may become more peaceful. As a result of the Lord’s Chastening our lives may become more fruitful. As a result of the Lord’s Chastening our lives may become more righteous.
