Afflictions » Life tested by the lord » Of ministers and prophets
I was given a painful physical ailment that will keep me from being puffed up with pride because of the many wonderful things I saw. It acts as Satan's messenger to beat me and keep me from being proud.
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And in the morning I did as I was commanded.
Even to this present hour we both hunger and thirst. We are naked. We are treated badly and we are homeless.

It is written: For your sake we are put to death all day long. We are considered as sheep for the slaughter. (Psalm 44:22) In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
