What blessing comes from chastening?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Faith likewise includes faith in God’s developmental purposes, for ‘the Lord seeth fit to chasten his people; yea, he trieth their patience and their faith’ (Mosiah 23:21). Still, some of us have trouble when God’s tutoring is applied to us! We plead for exemption more than we do for sanctification, don’t we, brothers and sisters?” (Maxwell, “‘Lest Ye Be Wearied and Faint in Your Minds,’” 90).
