It is good for me that I have been afflicted ...


A hard, but precious truth, when embraced:




"It is good for me 


that I have been afflicted 


that I might learn thy statutes."

Psalm 119:71



Hebrew KJV "afflicted" ענה:



disciplined
 

looked down on

depressed

bowed down

weakened

frustrated

mishandled

violated

defiled
raped

chastened

dealt hardly with


hurt

submitted ...





= GOOD FOR ME ? ? ? ...




= TO LEARN THY STATUES






His statues:


"He hath shewed thee, O man, 
what is good;

and what doth the LORD require of thee,

but to DO JUSTLY,

and to LOVE MERCY,

and to WALK HUMBLY with thy God. " 
Micah 6:8



And what is "good" ?

"And we know that
all things
work together 
for GOOD 
to them that love God, 

according to HIS PURPOSE

To be conformed to the image of his Son."

Romans 8:28-29
