My God, Thank You For Chastening Me

May 22 Scripture Meditations Based on Psalms 93-95 Key Verse – Psalm 94:12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR CHASTENING ME Thank You for chastening me of my sins With Your holiness that divinely wins… Here am I repenting from wickedness midst worldliness dins And seeking Your forgiveness from Your mercy-bins. Thank You for chastening me of my transgressions With Your grace that girds against abominations… Here am I acknowledging my perversions And clinging to Your pardon’s provisions. Thank You for chastening me of my selfishness With Your goodness that corrects self-exalting humbleness… Here am I forsaking self-righteousness And hiding in Your love that rebukes enviousness. Thank You for chastening me of my arrogance With Your meekness that subdues pride’s endurance… Here am I surrendering my vain craving for earthly extravagance And abiding in Your satisfaction of heavenly assurance. Thank You for chastening me of my iniquities With Your discipline that straightens lives despite filthiness-caused infirmities… Here am I submitting my doubts and uncertainties And trusting Your promises of perfection-securities. Thank You for chastening me of my disobedience With Your help that transforms from rebellion-insurgence… Here am I turning to You from my useless expedience And following Your ways through Your caring diligence.
