Amen! Yes! Absolutely! God is good!

He also does good.

Even when He uses or allows affliction.

I will continue to come back to that in faith.

In that I rest.

Or must, anyway.

Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord,
according unto thy word.

Before I was afflicted
I went astray….

Thou art good,
and doest good;
teach me thy statutes.

It is good for me
that I have been afflicted;
that I might learn thy statutes.

The law of thy mouth
is better unto me
than thousands of gold and silver.

Psalm 119:65-72

Even now, I want that last statement to be my testimony as well.

Even now, when I truly need thousands of that stuff, I want to be able to say that I treasure God’s Word far more.

Do you have any practical pointers on how to reach that point?

Remember the word unto thy servant,
upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

This is my comfort in my affliction:
for thy word hath quickened me.

I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord;
and have comforted myself.

I have remembered thy name, O Lord,
in the night,
and have kept thy law.

I intreated thy favour with my whole heart:
be merciful unto me according to thy word.

At midnight
I will rise to give thanks unto thee
because of thy righteous judgments.

Psalm 119:49-64
