Thematic Bible
Afflictions » Blessings in disguise
This light, temporary nature of our suffering is producing for us an everlasting weight of glory, far beyond any comparison,
"Indeed, how blessed is the person whom God reproves! So never disrespect the discipline of the Almighty,
Because he knows the road on which I travel, when he had tested me, I'll come out like gold.
Before I was humbled, I wandered away, but now I observe your words.
It's better to attend a funeral than to attend a banquet, for everyone dies eventually, and the living will take this to heart.
He said: "I called out to the LORD from the midst of affliction directed at me, and he answered me. From the depths of death I cried out for help; and you heard my cry.
And I will bring that surviving third through, testing them as if through fire, purifying them like silver, assaying them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, "This is my people,' and they will say, "The LORD is my God.'"
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, for those who have been trained by it, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.
I told him, "Sir, you know."
