It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes. Psalm 119:71
Can we picture ourselves thanking God for our afflictions, so we can experience spiritual growth? Paul was thankful for the comfort he received in his affliction, so he could communicate that comfort to others. James considered it joy in trials, for the perseverance and spiritual growth that followed. When affliction converts, when troubles strengthen, we should be thanking God for the good that comes. The next time we find ourselves in an extreme adversity, remember, every trial is another opportunity for God’s good. Thank you Lord.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
