[Today: Deuteronomy 8]: Is God Chastening You? Many times we go through things thinking that our suffering originates with God. This is a common belief that has been at the center of Christian though and theology for centuries. In this chapter we see that the chastening of God is something far different than dead religion would suggest. God chastens the children of Israel with manna every morning and water from the rock and supernatural health and supply. This is the chastening we can seek out and experience and give thanks for in our own lives if we will follow the example set by the ancient people of God.
