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?

Blessed are the undefiled in the way,
who walk in the law of the Lord.

They also do no iniquity:
they walk in his ways.

O that my ways
were directed to keep thy statutes!

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?
by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,
as much as in all riches.

I will meditate in thy precepts,
and have respect unto thy ways.

Psalm 119:1-16
