The child errs, kicks, snarls - the mother’s first response is to save him from his tantrum. Get him to eat his food - it’s good for him. She patiently & forbearingly suffers his antics & “rebellion” to ensure he gets enough food. She does not give up until the food is all eaten for his good. She may give a measured spanking or rebuke, just so that next time around he will not harm himself, becoming a regular brawler. Mother does not think he injured my ego. Similarly, God is not trigger happy as people imagine. He too bears long & suffers slight, insult, denials, rebellion, bad mouthing, defiance - just to see that we get on with what’s good for us - as he has given the best we need for life - though we humans mess up or treat others unjustly. If God spanks it in measure & for our own good lest we get into worse trouble.
