Have you ever experienced the chastening of the Lord?

I have, and I could tell you that it was humbling. It drew me to my knees as never before. I was just complaining, worried about a situation that I should have just trusted God to handle, and for three days He chastised me, He rebuked me, and brought me under subjection. Now I know that God does these things so that we would reverence Him, worship Him and obey Him, which has its reward. Praise the Lord!
