8-14-2009. . . .The Ministry of Affliction!
“It is good for me that I have been afflicted” (Ps 119:71a KJV) I am not certain that on the front end, many of us would agree with David’s perspective. I pray however, that all of us attain to the same objective once we emerge from the crucible of affliction; “that I might learn thy statutes.” (Ps 119:71b KJV) We can only do better as we learn better! God’s correction is never to hurt us but to help us. “I know, O Lord, that your decisions are right and that your punishment was right and did me good. ( Ps 119:75 TLB) Advice: Go through it and get through it. You’ll be better for it!
Prayer: Lord your statutes are the foundation of my life. Thank you for the ministry of affliction. Amen.
Ps 18:30. . . .As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. KJV
