"Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word."
~ Psalm 119:67
I find myself incredibly relieved and anchored in the truth and promise of God who sets afflictions to His wise purposes. Nothing happens by way of nature or accident. He is actively involved and brings them to pass, including afflictions.
It's a hard truth but a sobering and tremendously comforting to know that God never wastes any pain, hurt, struggle, trials that He brings to pass.
May we truly learn to joyfully willingly obey and submit to His sovereign Wisdom and Love for us I even in the midst of very trying times.
