2 | Discipline vs. torment | Job 2:10 | DocTrinsograce | 197573 | ||
Hi, LJ... Understanding that we serve a sovereign God, helps us rightly understand those things that occur around us and how we ought to respond to them. "Then his wife said to him, 'Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die.' But he said to her, 'You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?'" (Job 2:9-10a ESV) I think what you are looking for is Hebrews 12. According to that passage, adversity comes from the hand of God in order to conform the believer into the image of Christ. Only those who deny the Lord think that they will escape suffering (Psalm 10:6). Scripture clearly teaches that days of prosperity and days of adversity are both from Him (Ecclesiastes 7:14). "Afflictions are governed by God, both as to... their time, their number, their nature, their measure. Our times, therefore, and our condition in these times, are in the hand of God. God is in all providences, be they... ever so bitter, ever so afflicting, ever so smarting, ever so destructive to our earthly comforts. Every bitter cup is of His preparing! It is Jesus, your best friend who most dearly loves you, who appoints all providences, orders them all, overrules, moderates, and sanctifies them all -- and will sweeten them all -- and in His due time will make them profitable unto you, that you shall one day have cause to praise and bless His name for them all." --John Bunyan See also posts #170759, #182821, and #193858. In Him, Doc |
