Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?
[Job.2:10]
I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. ■ O Lord, thou art our father, we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. ■ It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good.
[Psa.119:75 | Isa.64:8 | I Sam.3:18]
Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments.
[Jer.12:1]
He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. ■ Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. ■ It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. ■ Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.
[Mal.3:3 | Heb.12:6 | Matt.10:25 | Heb.5:8]
Rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. ■ These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
[I Pet.4:13 | Rev.7:14]
