Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law.

Psalm 94:12 expresses, “Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law.” Chastening, or discipline, is often seen negatively, but the psalmist calls it a blessing. God’s correction is not punitive but restorative. When God disciplines us, it is for our growth and to bring us closer to Him. The person who is chastened by God is blessed because they are being taught and shaped through His loving correction. Discipline is an act of love, not punishment. As we grow in our understanding of God’s ways, we realize that His correction is a necessary part of spiritual maturity. It teaches us to turn away from sin and live in accordance with His will, leading us to a deeper relationship with Him.
